[GNUz] Slashdor discussion of php/mysql/gpl

[InfoHelp]

It seems to all come down to a matter of opinion (formed over several 
decades & from many influences).

Another useful read, thanks Jim.

Somehow the debate just seems to stand in the way of 'getting on with 
it' (our jobs).

Is the trend one of slow & steady erosion of GNU GPL influence?

If so, need we be concerned?

Free software is out there, available, effective. Why argue?

Responsible for releasing software, one would need a specific license. 
Until then, does it matter?

- just some thoughts,

Cheers - Rik
