There is no universal "copyright law" accepted worldwide. So what 
"copyright law"? American, japanese, lesothean? Of course, we know the 
origin of GPL, everybody can read. The "copyright law" is in many 
countries a set of very stupid rubbish apparently created by 
non-computer people. So, before calling anyone "fool" you must be 
specific. Do you have a bad day, Dick?

GPL as well as CC are clear and specific, therefore good. I believe a 
footnote about licensing without any further discussion would be 
sufficient. And without "fools".

P.S. I am leaving the list. I don't need to be called a fool.
