I don't establish *anything*. It's in the preamble.
The spirit of the license is for everyone to have software freedom, not just
those who don't close up the source code. One of the ways it makes it so, is to
force passing on the same rights.
You try to clinge on these expression as trying to validate the absurd notion
that it forces to maintain dual licensing. It's false. If you chose the GNU GPL
as the license, then the rights that must be passed on are those granted by the
GNU GPL. Responsabilities too.

The license is not to be read just at your convenience. There's more text, and
it clearly says "the precise terms follow". Don't ignore them when it's more
convenient to you.

Of course not, I'm about the freedom of all users to run, study and modify,
as well as distribute (modified or not). Software is not a human being, and
Free Software is merely a tool to empower people.
You don't have any problems with people locking other people out of code, but
when it's to ensure everyone has access, except you because *you* don't want to,
then it's all bad. This is shallow, IMHO.
Fortunately I value OpenBSD because it's Free Software with a lot of technical
merit, and not for words like yours. I even got the company I work at to buy
CD's (sometimes they don't).
To finalise, the FSF has said it doesn't want anything to do with this polemic,
so I don't see the point in adding Richard to the cc except to make a fool of
yourself.
