What you wrote there is essentially meaningless. The GPL is worthless and
has no force according to that. All the power is outside of it and it carries
no weight. I guess that is why the FSF just won a court case against Cisco
for GPL violations. Make sense.

Even funnier. You are just proving that you cannot provide any evidence
to contradict the GPL. Provide proof of your claims. The GPL gives proof
of what I claim. You have nothing, thus you resort to silly claims.
