Nothing forces you to use GPL code, isn't it ? If that code was under a
proprietary licence, you would not use it without paying the price,
because then you'd be *stealing* code ? And since you have a deep
respect for intellectual property, copyright laws etc, you would not, by
any mean, *steal* code by not respecting the licence terms ? Do we agree
on this ? Yes ? Fine. Then how dare you complain about the fact that the
GPL don't let you steal code ? Don't you feel something like a
contradiction here ? Too bad that you can't have your cake and eat it too...
