+Well, there is stupid people that laugh at important things. 
+Idiots things everything is a joke. :-/

+
+You didn't understand it...
+GPL is not about reading others code... but giving you the freedom to copy, 
+modify and resuse it under the GPL License.

+
+No, because all the code is under the GPL.
+If you read it, and code it on your way, then you could set whatever license you 
+want... it is up to your ethical being to say if you use GPL or not.

+
+You are totally wrong... GPL allow us the common user to join and build a big, 
+great product. From my personal experience, I could have never build such 
+project as mine is without GPL.
+
+GPL promote talents as everyone learn fasters, so yes it do a leverage, but you 
+get a better level that those close source fanatic. :-/

+
+GPL is not about companies, but about users.
+GPL means to refuse to a lot of rights so that your users can share your work.
+
+I suppose that Nevrax is using GPL because:
+1) It make faster the development.
+2) The user base is also developers base
+3) The open architecture means bugs are found faster and easier.
+4) Port to other OS are almost automatic.
+5) Personal Challenge ( 1st commercial GPL game )
+
+Why in the hell people thing that Communism, Jew or Gay are bad things???

+
+Man... you have serious problems with your ethics.
+If you say... "Mine is the best wine of the world", just tell me how you did, 
+and I will do one better. What we have? A wine that is better than the better.
+And as my way is not secret and open and free to use, someone will use it to 
+create an even better one. 
+That is what GPL is about, only fools don't understand.

+
+Yes, Your world will die, because a new one will appear where there is no more 
+secrets, where you won't be able to sell ideas, where you won't be allowed to 
+forbid people to copy and share apps.
+

+
+GPL people is different. We tollerate different opinions.

+
+You are really inside... you should go back to school and learn something about 
+ethics.
