*sigh*

The answer is not, and cannot be, in the GPL.  If you don't understand
why the answer cannot be in the GPL, then you need to think about the
problem more seriously.

Now, enough.  I am not interested in a discussion with you; I'm
replying only because I don't want to leave the impression in the
archive that this nonsense went uncontested.  Not that there's much
chance of that, given the number of people who have tried to correct
you.
