GPL is for boomers at this point. Floppy disks? Distribution? You can use a tool but you cant change it? A DLL call means you need to redistribute your code but forking doesn't?

Sillyness

GPL post-dates network software distribution (we got our first gcc via ftp).

Yes, but if you use open source libraries for your closed source SaaS - thats fine. People get their software _over_ the network delivered to them in a VM (your browser).
