hmmm...i think this is at the heart of some of the points., I actually
think if all content (whose authors wanted it to be free) was gpl we
would be alot further down the liberty road, and that liberty would be a
lot clearer, take less time to maintain, easier to really mix and
create/recreate from, and be alot more secure
