Go to Post By the looks, 1114 has already figured out both #1 and #2. They're still behind 71, who is just about done with their robot for the 2012 season, is getting driver practice for 2011, and is working on their robot designs for the 2013 water game. You're still way behind. - EricH [more]

That is not a pitfall here as we are trying to promote GPL'd open source free files. Not to mention this "viral nature" was written into the license...and why not? We're looking to promote software freedom. Viral is good in that case.

Correct, but it could still be used in a commercial product. Kevin Watson has specifically said he does not want people making profit from his code.

I still like the GPL for this.
