You used GPL stuff without accepting the GPL? Less people understand the 
GPL completely, but c'mon you're an academic. Maybe you are obligated by 
ethics to share your own software with other people who make it possible 
for you by their own, but libre and open sourced software or even people 
that never did anything for you.

You don't want that Raymond does forge his own version of Impro-Visor? 
Why not? I can't see any damage by doing this.

And also by some GPL coders.

You won't share your knowledge?
