"Yeah! It’s like goldy and bronzy, only it’s made of iron."

I think it's very funny to hear Linux kernel devs calling GPLd forks of existing code bases 'parasitic', when the Linux kernel itself contains a not so insignificant amount of BSD licensed code.

I guess one man's 'parasite' is the same man's 'liberator of too liberally licensed code', depending on which end of the leaching^W merging chain he stands.
