So.. how long before a certain troll comes in to defend Monsoon and bemoan what a “trap” the GPL is, all the while conveniently neglecting that Monsoon is essentially engaged in theft by using other people’s work and intellectual property in violation of the license it is distributed under?

The GPL is a trap, set by the leftist moonbat Richard Stallman, otherwise known as “the father of free software” whose stated “ultimate goal” is “to make proprietary software obsolete”. Hopefully the contractual elements of his tricky license which he calls “copyleft” verses normal “copyright” will be deemed as unlawful without getting signatures on the dotted line.

We have firmly established that he doesn't believe rights are equal. Infringing on copyright, even for large-scale profit, is fine by him as long as he doesn't like the person whose copyright is being infringed. The confirming example was Linksys/Cisco distributing millions of unlicensed copies of Linux with their routers.
