It also science to the letter. And arts. And many other things.

I keep wondering why people mix together free speach with forced
collectivistic political system?! You are _free_ to use GPL or non-GPL for
your program. You may think that you pay for using GPL-ed software by
letting your code to GPL pool. It's economy (and ecology) too. If
anything, GPL and it's community is gift-society, not communism. You give
you work as a gift, other give you something you need. I see nothing wrong
with it.

And also, what is different between a program and mathematical formula?
