Stop with "contamination" about GPL. It's just "hereditary"

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.

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.

For information, the term "viral" was coined around 1999 (earlier?) by Microsoft (which itself has now contributed to the Linux Kernel, under.... the GPL!)
