I think you missed the point of Free Software entirely.<p>The GPL, like the Discordian Kopyleft, is a legal exploit, or a hack if you prefer, that uses a silly IP law to nullify itself.<p>If some people are using IP law to restrict the freedom of users and makers of software, why can&#x27;t they use the law to defend themselves? It&#x27;s like complaining that anarchists are hypocrites for calling the police when they are victims of crime.
