Sorry for the language but this is pure bullshit. The Free Software Foundation
has enforced the GPL many times, forcing proprietary vendors to GPL the code of
works deviated from GPL'ed code, and has always reached a settlement before
getting to court, that shows how good the GPL is.

IMHO you're quite confused, and don't have a good idea about what open source is
all about. You license closely remembers the shared source license.
