If it finally turns out that I'm wrong on this and GPL does not have
that kind of economic "vendor lock-in" _effect_ behind it (note:
effect, not intent), I will be only happy to see that. Re subverting
existing legal philosophy, I could not care less. 

Obviously the only reason that I argued that way is that given
the info that I have it simply looks like that from my viewpoint.
