====================================
WTF: What argument to prohibit GPL??
====================================

:Description:
    That's really something that makes me more than angry. If someone really
    has a problem with open source (maybe he wants to sell his software and
    feels threatened by high quality open source products), I accept that he
    tries to prohibit that. But WTF is that for an argument, that the GPL
    violates the "Clayton Antitrust Act" (US law) in dictating fixed prices
    for software?
