The whole idea of the FSF and thus the GPL is to turn software development
and ownership of software into some kind of communism.  It seeks to strip an
elite group (programmers) from the right to make money from their creative
work and sole right to their work.  Instead the masses of uneducated wannabe
programmers are allowed to screw up the programs.

If that isn't political...
