GPL vs BSD Licence

[TM4525 at aol.com]

The implication that the copyright holder of every O/S owns the copyright
to every application and device driver that runs on it because they require
the O/S to work is so stupid that I can't believe that any of you have 
convinced yourself that there is an argument that can be made that
supports it. The GPL is designed to scare people into donating their
code. Please come to terms with it.

And please stop CCing me on this.
