I won't give you a link (that message contains a lot of 
misunderstandings of copyright in general and software copyright
in particular). I'll just quote McOrmond. <quote> One of the 
problems I find with the GPL is that it is written more like a 
manifesto to explain why it exists rather than to use traditional 
license terminology.  While this is great in explaining the 
principles of the GNU project, it makes understanding it in 
connection with the laws and case-law of any given country just 
that much harder. </quote> Now it's link time.
