I spoke of no contradiction.  To repeat:  I was unclear on the nature of
your question.

At first, you said you were planning to release some software under the
GNU GPL, but wanted our insights into the implications of these two
things you've cited.  But then, you seemed to be just venting pique at
things you don't like.  So:  What was the question, again?

But, didn't you mention that possibility in your original post?
