What are you both saying here?  I can't interpret the last two 
sentences in
any way that evaluates to true. Is that a guru meditation error on my 
part?

You mean if there wouldn't be any other licenses other than the GPL then
the software community would not be split? That would be a very 
Orwellian
point of view indeed.
