Or, more concisely: "All your stuff belong to us"? :-)

Really, though, the GPL simply says "If you want to use our stuff you have
to make your stuff available on the same terms". It always amuses me to read
people calling the FSF "fascist" when they don't like the restrictions the
GPL places on usage. Nobody calls Microsoft "fascist" ... oh, sorry, maybe
that's going a bit too far.
