Now, seriously: Obviously this is not against the GPL,
because it
doesn't hinder you in any way to use the software for devilish
purposes or give it away to a heavy metal freak, it just wants you to
think about, what you're doing by this.
I would imagine that would only encourage producers of hevay metal and so,
its kind of the point, right? Rebellion and all that.
It is however slighty offensive to the aprox. 70% (and growing) of the
worlds population who are not christian.

I wonder how people would react if a scientologist produced a softwynth
and said she only wanted it to be used by operating thetans ;) I don't
view it any differently myself.
