Thanks Mako
I will let all the rest sink in but I have also been thinking about this line
of thought lately as well:

The GPL sacrifices your freedom to

We often see this type of statement and things like "The GPL Is restrictive"
MY growing view is that the attacks on FLOSS (starting with the SCO case it
appears )will come based upon the freedom of contrcat enshrined int he
emaning of liberty in the US Constitutionand he fact that the GPL is
"restrictive" and thus contrary to this liberty and anti competetive (a la
anti Trust law).
Any thoughts on this out there?
Martin
