A shitload of the other guys posting in the linked thread are hardcore dumbfucks, I don't know why he's even wasting his time talking to them

I'm starting to see how the anti-GNU sentiment on this board and /g/ is spot on
GPL is nice, the only lame thing is, that it's not allowed to link CS-code with it. You can do that with the LGPL (Lesser GPL). But BSD-licenses are that free, that it sucks again.
