    /. should follow suit and commit to a standard duped-article icon. This way, those outcasted and humilated articles can display their mark of shame right on the front page!

    And even if the icon was GPL, they don't need to release the entire browser source code, just the code for the icon upon request.

    People - the GPL is not viral, nor should it be. It simply states that if I make my code free, nobody can unmake it free. It doesn't mean that if you use my code as part of a larger package, then everything else in that package must also be free.

    We need to get this right, as this misconception is exactly what MS is using to attack open source solutions to sell their crappy products, which we have to make work.
