This is awesome, you protect the vendors by pretending to provide free
code. This is so funny that I have tears in my eyes.
The GPL has become the new safe harbor for companies who don't want to
play in the open source world. Do you really think Sun is GPLing Java
because they think it is the right thing to do? The answer might
surprise you; they are doing it under pressure from investors because
they are not making money. Now how do you give something away but not
really? Exactly, Copyrights + GPL. What a fantastic combination! You
get inherent patent protection because no one can use your code and
copyrights take care of the rest.
Now Sun gets to shut up the open source world; hey we "gave" you (some)
of our code now didn't we? And they get to pretend to be open source
friendly to boot! The GPL hippies are beat at their own game :-)
The GPL being used to protect companies and IP! Oh the irony makes me tingle.

Didn't your mommy, or government, tell you to share with others?

I am pretty sure your goals are very much the same. Do a s/GPL/BSD/g

I am sorry you don't see the damage you are causing. It does illustrate
