Wow!  It seems you've been enjoying GPL software for over a
year at least!  The GPL software must be very wonderful
for you to use it so much even though you hate its license.
I guess the GPL must be doing something very right for you
to put aside your personal convictions and use it regardless.

YAY for GPL software!!!!  Working as intended.
