I love the GNU "Play by my rules or i'm taking my toys and going home" 
attitude. It's so beneficial to humanity.
If it was about passing on knowledge it would be in the public domain 
commons for the benefit of man. As someone stated earlier the GPL is a 
political statement. And we all know where politics get us.
