"Viral" is sometimes used as shorthand for "copyleft" but it is a bad 
description of copyleft. Viruses spread between adjacent cells by force 
without permission. Copyleft spreads only when you agree to it. So 
calling copyleft "viral" isn't accurate. In fact many people regard 
doing so as FUD.

But what we are discussing here goes beyond derivation as the point at 
which copyleft takes effeect. So I was trying to avoid being too viral 
for real.
