Right, most people other than my wife will probably never hear
anything I create, but at the same time, using software with any kind
of restrictions on it really bothers me. This is exactly the reason I
left the Windows world and went to Linux, so that I could have the
peace of mind of using 100% free software. If I wanted to use
software with sketchy licensing under the table, I'd load a cracked
version of Windows on my box and start surfing the warez sites. This
is an exaggeration I know, but still - if the software is GPL, then it
should be GPL 100%.
