    You may want to keep in mind that people use the word that way and why they do so
    People call the GPL viral to discurage its usage. A common smokescreen tactic -- you associate whatever you don't like with something negative, make some swallow arguments to make the connection appear strong and hope that people won't look deeper into it.

    Here is a rule of thumb for GPL sceptics: if in doubt treat the software as if it was proprietary.

    If I derive from a GPLed work, my work is automatically GPLed as well
    Viruses don't ask for permission. Also it isn't automaticly GPLed, you can reject the GPL by not distributing the derived work.

    I'm saying that bsartist is not alive. No matter how well it mimics the outward appearance of a sentient being, the hard fact remains that it is a biological machine, a gene construct, a simulacrum. And yes, that does mean it has no more rights than a fly has.
