> The antithesis of free software.

Those who oppose the GPL are precisely the people it was designed to protect against.

I think we found a good example of your wishes here. You are against the GPL if you have an ulterior motive to make something proprietary and avoid contributing back!



My comment was about the AGPL, not about the GPL.

Though I don't favor the GPL for my own code, I would not call it "antithesis of free software". The GPL does not impose any use restrictions, and meets a reasonable definition of a free license in other ways also.
