That the GPL license accomplish what it wants by using copyright law in a
straightforward manner seems like an endorsement of copyright law to me.
Or do you believe that there should be no allowance for authors who prefer other

This seems good to me.
Let's hurry up and get this over with so we can move on to patent law,
