But I *like* the GPL...

The root question here is "how do you get fanatics to stop acting all
fanatical?". If we can answer that question, we can  solve problems
much, much bigger than the FSF.

We need to treat them the way normal churches treat fanatical
churches. Which, so far as I can tell, is to mostly ignore them, and
answer any criticism of them with "that isn't us". They need to be
shunned.
