The discussion was started by the advocates of non-copyleft licences. I'm 
perfectly fine with web2py on GPL terms (even without exceptions), besides 
maybe I would like to see it upgraded to GPLv3. However, it is too often we 
see the attempts to frame the GPL as deterrent scary licence that limits the 
project adoption and nobody takes a strong stance against such unfair 
claims. Then this false image of what GPL is and how it works is spread, 
because people are lazy and they will rather accept anonymous comment on the 
Internet as true rather than check the GPL faq or the licence itself. This 
is why I replied. Who knows, maybe sombody will learn from it something new.
