I hate to say this....but this is now starting to sound like politics
here in Taiwan.  The Blue party won't listen to anything the Green Party
has to say and vice versa.  Parties will dismiss the views of
independent sources when it doesn't fit their narrow view.  Op-Ed pieces
are written off when the views expressed don't dovetail with their beliefs.

While nothing in the _intent_ of the GPL bothers someone they should
consider the conclusion of that article.

But, there does seem to be "some" hope.

And connecting links seem to indicate that there is some individuals
willing to compromise or at least find ways to work together.

FWIW, I guess this is a good reason to be a consultant/freelance.  You
can work both sides of the fence and serve two masters.
