The GPL states a single, specific requirement, above all else: that if you create a software program that is a derived work of another software program, then that combined work must be distributed under these terms, no more, no less. Making a derivative work of a software program IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT. You, the hypothetical developer of the derived work, receive the program accompanied by its unambiguous terms of use, and IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THOSE TERMS. If you do not, then that is your fault, and ignorance of the law does not excuse its transgression.
You therefore have a choice. You can use works distributed under the GPL to create your own software and license that under the GPL, or you can NOT USE the GPL software and use any license you want. If the GPL were infectious, then you would have no such choice; since you do have a choice it is clearly not infectious in this regard.
Also remember that the GPL clearly states your rights with respect to parts of a program you write: that the GPL only applies to the combined work as a whole. You retain all rights to do whatever you want with the parts of the program you wrote. Furthermore, if a developer combines a GPL'd program X with a proprietary program Y of which he is not the owner, then the combination does not, and cannot legally affect how Y is licensed. All that happens in this situation is that the developer will be unable to satisfy the conditions of the GPL and the proprietary license at the same time, making any release of the software -- however licensed -- in breach of copyright law. Copyright law is pretty clear on the notion that the owner of a copyrighted work has the sole ability to set the terms of use of his copyright.
Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Arthur: Who are you? Knight of Ni: We are the Knights who say..... "Ni"! Arthur: (horrified) No! Not the Knights who say "Ni"! Knight of Ni: The same. Other Knight of Ni: Who are we? Knight of Ni: We are the keepers of the sacred words: Ni, Ping, and Nee-womm! Other Knight of Ni: Nee-womm! Arthur: (to Bedevere) Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale! Knight of Ni: The knights who say "Ni" demand..... a sacrifice! Arthur: Knights of Ni, we are but simple travelers who seek the enchanter who lives beyond these woods. Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni! Bedevere: No! Noooo! Aaaugh! No! Knight of Ni: We shall say "Ni" to you... if you do not appease us. Arthur: Well what is it you want? Knight of Ni: We want.....
(pregnant pause)
A SHRUBBERY!!!!
(minor music)
Arthur: A WHAT? Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni!! Ni! Ni! Arthur; No! No! Please, please, no more! We will find you a shrubbery. Knight of Ni: You must return here with a shrubbery... or else you will never pass through this wood... alive. Arthur: O Knights of Ni, you are just and fair, and we will return with a shrubbery. Knight of Ni: One that looks nice. Arthur: Of course! Knight of Ni: And not too expensive. Arthur; Yes! Knight of Ni: Noowwwww.... GO!
(music)
Arthur: O Knights of Ni. We have brought you your shrubbery. May we go now? Knight of Ni: Yes, it is a good shrubbery. I like the laurels particularly. But there is one small problem.... Arthur: What is that? Knight of Ni: We are now no longer the Knights Who Say "Ni"! Other Knights of Ni: Ni! Shh! Shh! Knight of Ni: We are now the Knights who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm". Other Knight of Ni: Ni! Knight of Ni: Therefore, we must give you a test. Arthur: What is this test, O Knights of..... Knights who 'til recently said "Ni"? Knight of Ni: Firstly, you must find....
ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!!!
(minor music)
Arthur: Oh not another shrubbery!! Knight of Ni: (excitedly) THEN... Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here, beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher, so we get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle. Other Knights of Ni: A path! A path! A path! Shh, shhh. Ni! Ni! Knight of Ni: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... Wiiiiiithh.... A HERRING!
Thats why, pack up, go there and educate those people.
Yeah, according to you, close all those schools that are doing these researches, maybe even stop educating people, and somehow do this magic trick that will make the caste system go away.
Indian constitution doesn't promote caste system. Other than that, I leave it to you, oh mighty sage, to educate those people who promote caste system.
BUT recently I installed linux on one of my machines, (the rest run FreeBSD) because I was very excited about the new kernel and I had a spare box. so I was looking for something similar to FreeBSD, bloat free, easy to use and strong package management. It came down to debian or Gentoo, I went with gentoo. Very network friendly and helpful folks at the gentoo forum.

I'd like to see the solution for those.
Bite me, the game still sucks.
This game is horribly coded, it took hours just to load up. GTA vice city rules!
I am fucking serious. Why is a military organization supported by taxpayer's money promoting Christian/Pagan tradition?
Yep, it has been said before about ACLU and look who came out crying.....
is a clear violation of separation between church and state.
I hope ACLU sues them.
I think it has been done before.
Hey, I used Konspire few months ago.
How's the development going?
Lets leave it at that.
People in general should be aware of FEMA and how much power it has. It's not even funny.
If it (broadband thingy) interferes with their activity, then it must be really serious.
I don't think that could be a big of problem. I Just hiding options from beginners to make it simpler for them.
How hard could it be to help them?
To each his own.
For some the options are a nifty thing. For others, a headache. I think KDE team should implement a beginner/advanced profile.

Obviously, the mods are a retarded bunch.

Just ramifications of Globalization and so called 'free-trade'. It was inevitable.
They are selling service and you're buying it. It is not an 'aid'. They dont owe you anything.
mine, mine, mine...............
Thats why, pack up, go there and educate those people.
Yeah, according to you, close all those schools that are doing these researches, maybe even stop educating people, and somehow do this magic trick that will make the caste system go away.
How will the government 'dismantle' caste system?
That is utter bullshit.
Indian constitution doesn't promote caste system. Other than that, I leave it to you, oh mighty sage, to educate those people who promote caste system.
May the beam be with you!
What economic aid are we talking about?
Is it pretty huge? Figures please. Who funds it?
Shut up!! Be quiet. I order you to be quiet.
Invitation to WWIII.
Fusion reactors do not exist. You are still wrong.
Nuclear Fusion reactors?
Wow that's a first one.
Oh BTW, I thought revolutions was good too.
I say it's good after viewing the trailer.

Redhat simply doesn't impress me.
I like the sound of that!
