I have no problem whatsoever with the obligation to return DERIVATIVE 
code (read: bug fixes, optimizations, whatever MODIFICATIONS) back to 
the community. Even when I do not distribute the derivative code. That
is "quid pro quo" (one thing in return for another). I do have serious
problem with the FSF's "everything in return for something" idiotic 
interpretation of the GPL that has no legal basis under the copyright 
law. http://www.linuxdevices.com/files/misc/gpl-proposed-rev3.pdf
