He isn't subverting anything. Open source code

guarantees Mark's (and your) freedom to work with the code as either of
you see fit.
The GPL does not address the intentions of the authors. Specifically it
address the rights of users, of which Mark is one. He is entitled to do
what he likes with the source code, so long as he abides by the letter
of its license, as are we all.
You know, for all the bullcrap that's been spewed on this matter, has
anyone ever submitted the case to the FSF for their judgment on it ? It
seems to me that their opinion would seal the issue once and for all.
