The GPL is a hack on copyright law.

If you disagree with the GPL then you disagree with copyright law. The GPL is only as powerful as current copyright law allows it to be.

Don't hate on the GPL, it's satire. Hate on the last century of corporate-lobbied legislation that has granted unprecedented levels of power to copyright: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_the_United_Sta.... E.g. Mickey Mouse still isn't in the public domain!
