You know quite well that "GPL incomatibility" is pure fiction and that it has no legal basis under the copyright law (with out some shrink-wrap contractual restrictions on use of "free" software). It's amazing that so many folks are so ignorant of basic concepts of copyright law (compilation-vs-derivative, etc.) and blindly buy into your "copyright hack" (attribution: Moglen) nonsense. And, BTW, ever heard of first sale doctrine? Rhetorical question, don't bother to answer. regards, alexander.
