@Corvan @mwl I think this is inaccurate. People who love the GPL usually love it because it’s a way to protect user freedom, not simply because it’s a licence. I’ll prefer pirating non-free software to buying it, because disrespecting the non-free licence is less rewarding for the unjust proprietor. But respecting the GPL is more rewarding for user freedom, so I shall respect it and urge others to do the same. I only appreciate the legal framework as far as it serves my ideals, and doesn’t work against them. I assume this is how many other people feel, too.

Now, how people ought to feel about licences for creative works, that’s a different question, and this is probably not a good way to answer it.
