"Are you on crack or straight up out of your mind? You cannot
possibly be serious with that statement."

I will rephrase.  I should have said:

Any software project that says it is open source but is not GPL does
not have the users best interests, rights or protections in mind.  The
other open source licenses are better then closed source policies, but
the GPL ensures the freedom of every user that uses the software.

If that is crazy, then YES! I'm nuts.
