Somehow, a "closed model of freedom" sounds like "less free" to me. :-) It 
certainly doesn't sound like "better for society" or "information wants to 
be free" sorts of slogans the FSF normally uses.

I believe this applies *at best* to software programmers use. Nothing 
prevents anyone from taking MIT code and releasing modifications to it as 
MIT code.  So you have free evolution *and* commercial evolution, while you 
have only free evolution with the GPL.

Mind explaining under what circumstances GPL software leads to faster 
evolution than MIT software?
