Joanne is well with in her rights to choose whatever license she wants.
I've sold a lot of proprietary code in my day as well.  That doesn't
mean that _all_ code should conform to that same economic model, there
is room for both to exist.

So while it is very reasonable for someone to explain why they don't
personally embrace the GPL, it's arrogant to extend that into thinking
that nobody should.

Then by the same token, let us not sling arrows at people who decide to
release their code under the GPL.
