source software and am looking at the GPL. What are the pros and
cons of using this license?  share|improve this question

focused narrowly on the GPL and not taking a "high view"
perspective. –  makerofthings7 Sep 29 '10 at 15:45 I'd tend to
go for one extreme or the other: AGPL or WTFPL. –  TRiG Dec 7

exactly the same, the license would not have the same following.
The FOSS and GLP are not what they appear to be. Read their
Manifesto. They are not about Anarchy, they are about control.
