What I find difficult is the LACK of evidence, yet I FEEL like there
is something nefarious happening with the use of the GPL by large
companies. I let that get away from me without properly looking at
what evidence I really do have. This has also pointed out to me that
perhaps the GPL is not what I have issue with at all. Anyway, before I
get ranting again I thank you for the litmus test. I try to learn from
being wrong and this has been an excellent (albeit embarrassing)
learning opportunity for me. :)
