Say I use some GPL code...

You know, I'm so sick of anti-GPL lawyers, journalists, and business types all starting their arguments with that phrase.

If you force them to clarify with the words "So, you're saying, if you commit a crime by infringing the copyright work you don't own..." I wonder how many would really want to hold that position.

Yes. You commit a crime, you have to pay the price. Why is that so hard for these people to understand. They must be soft of crime.

Henry is saying <<look, don't include GPLed source in your app if you want to release it under a proprietary license>>. This is something the free software community agrees with! How does a lawyer saying <<don't do something illegal>> make him anti-GPL and soft on crime?
