I do confess that I'm exaggerating a good deal here, and not mentioning 
the closed-source software side.

But I think given the hype of GPL, it's worth pointing out flaws in the 
FSF's oh-so-glorious "we promote free open source software and still 
allow anyone to make money from it, thus bettering the world" point of view.
