    Of course, who in their right mind would voluntarily use APSL anyway for stuff that was completely original - it's Apple's license. I get the feeling that the FSF have a GNU up their butt. I mean - what's so flippin' special about the GPL and how come they can get away with calling the GPL "Free"?

    "We wanna be free, to do what we wanna do"
    - Well..you can't under the GPL. Try a BSD license.

    You're either with the GPL, or you're with the proprietary terrorists.
