Actually, I used to work at the company where those floating probes are made. They deny that the problem exists, but, despite being marketed as silent, the probes make a distinct sound when charging for a blast. And then there is the *whoosh* it makes when moving. That's even audible in the video you mention!

I see the GPL as being a cynical way of fighting fire with fire. If there were no copyright, the GPL would not be irrelevant--it would be unneccessary.
With all of the resources wasted to protect "intellectual property" that could be used actually producing, there's got to be a better way than the current system (or maybe just attitude?) of copyright.
