Another modern variation, though certainly not in the same class, "the viralness of software" -- I don't see how someone modifying open source software for their own (companies) use restricits other people's freedom (unless you use the same logic as those trying to prevent other people from getting married)


Nothing in the GPL/LGPL prevents you in any way from modifying the software for your own use. It is quite explicit that you have this right. It in no way restricts your rights to use and modify the software.
