This is an argumetation somewhat like any free speech supporter would
have no problem if someone is not allowed to argue against free
speech, and you only need to come to the US to find out how wrong 
you are ;-)

As long as you claim things like "your code", you actually mean
proprietary software, and yes the GPL puts a limitation to this by
intention.  However, I'm patient, since I know it took me years, too,
to understand copyleft.  Understanding is a lengthy process sometimes.
