Reading the comments about Apple's move to reject the GPLv3, describing the GPL (v2, v3) as 'viral' or 'contaminating' non-GPL code, or being a 'trap', is the reason why I posted this link.<p>People who say the GPL is viral have either no idea what they're talking about (i.e. they haven't read the license or they don't understand it: it's a legal document, it's not easy) or they're just against free software (open source) in general.<p>For information, the term "viral" was coined around 1999 (earlier?) by Microsoft (which itself has now contributed to the Linux Kernel, under.... the GPL!)
