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.
