BTW, the copyright law doesn't prevent sharing. It gives authors a right to charge more than zero for sharing. The GPL seeks to evaporate that right and impose licensing at no charge. What say you now, Hyman?
I'd say that's substantially correct, except that the GPL imposes only on those who voluntarily assume its burden. It's rather the way this newsgroup destroys Stephen King's ability to charge for his novels by providing an alternative form of horrific entertainment.
