The license is taylored to a specific aim which does not cover all the possible applications of developed software.
I don't like the bleatin license agreement on the one hand but it does fit the scriptural notion of freely you have recieved - freely give.

Ah, but the "freely give" in this case is not what you have
received but everything it touches. Although I'm no Microsoft fan,
I have to agree with them that the GPL is
virus like in that way.

Now the LGPL, if it can be applied to non-libraries might
be a good bet for gov't financed software. Although I don't
believe that enhancements should be covered.

And what do you mean "freely received"? We pay for that
software with tax dollars.
