The word itself is somewhat prejudicial, though, as rather few people
have positive connotations for the word ``virus.''

I think a better word here is ``sticky.''  The GPL is a sticky
license; once it is attached to code, it can't be removed.  The BSD
license is not sticky; it can be removed (or at least the most
important provisions can).
