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%. --- Josh
