Excellent. I'm off to use all GPL software older than 5 years in my proprietary code. I'm sure RMS wont mind. He's made his fortune. That's what you meant right?

No problem with that. Copyright shouldn't even exist anymore to be honest. Copyleft is just an attempt to make the most of a bad system and has no reason to exist in a world without copyright. Stallman would not want it abolished it, of course: all free software depends on copyright.

You want to copy GPL software? Sure. We'll copy yours too. That's the way things should be.
