Clark, Bill Gates, Will Wright, and Bill Joy, to name a few." It''s a fairly eclectic bunch of interviews collected from the last year, not ones done specifically for 2001 nostalgia.

if project alpha uses some code from the GPL license, then all of project alpha code is subject to ("under") the GPL.

the GPL-as-a-virus and GPL-as-Pac-Man-esque are the same thing, just different ways of expressing the concept.

if the pellet or ghost that Pac Man eats is a GPL pellet, then Pac Man is GPL. I think there is a kind of a food-chain implication here, like there should be a line of ever larger pac men feeding on eachother and in the end the big pac-man is under the GPL, or "infected" by/with it.
