These "true" open source licenses are much beloved by the
bottom-feeding leeches who feel that they are owed the work
of others for free.

The coders using the GPL attempt to convince others to use the
GPL by providing, in the words of the whiner, "functional code
that might very well solve your problem". But no one is forced
to use the GPL. They are free to duplicate the functional code
themselves.

Some are so very bitter when people refuse to give them the
something for nothing they believe is their birthright.
