Tim Butler knew when he mentioned something negative about the GNU Project's General Public License (GPL), in his column on KDE last week, he would inevitably be accused of arguing the GPL was a bad license. What did not fit into that piece shall now be dealt with: is the GPL a bad license or is the issue he complained about something else?

Well, I consider myself a developer
You nicely show what I intended to show.
You are a developer, you knew your options, you chose one.
You don't crawl around writing articles, rants or whatever speculating about other imaginary developers ability to choose for themselves.
GPL is not a bad license for some developers, but I completely understand companies that won't touch it with a ten foot pole.
Absolutely. The company I am working for woudn't either, but fortunately there are plenty of options, including in our case the availability of a Qt licence for proprietary development.
