"DR-DOS released DR-DOS 8.1 in the beginning of this month. But instead of an upgrade of the previous DR-DOS 8.0, it's something completely different. The kernel is a badly patched copy of the Enhanced DR-DOS kernel old version 7.01.06 without any credit to its author Udo Kuhnt. The other programs and drivers included are old versions of some popular open source, freeware and shareware products without licenses, documentation or even credit to their authors. This means that DR-DOS 8.1 is just a bunch of old tools plus a compilation of others' works, obviously sold without permission and in violation of their license terms."

The GPL is written in a straightforward manner and is pretty easy to understand. It seems to me that the vast majority of people who support it do in fact understand it. The "core proponents" of the license certainly understand it, so you are either minsinformed or lying. For having read your FUD here before, I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
Oh, and you are a troll, because of your name and because you say things like:
"Those are the people who matter if wider adoption of your little toy OS is important to you."
(Emphasis mine.)
