Does the same thing apply to Microsoft?  If I get a copy of MS Office,
do you think I should be able to incorporate its code into my own
products for repackaging and sale any way that I want, without their
having any say?  If not, why should Microsoft be entitled to do that
with software that -I- write?  Is there something in the water making
people think these inequitable things?  If Microsoft's licenses are
morally respectable then so is the GPL.
