I still don't understand GPL v2 or GPL v3, though i have read each of the licencing things several times.
The most i get from it is "If you distribute the Binderys, you must distribute the source code"
thats why i like MIT or BSD based licences, there short, to the point, and don't have hundreds of loopholes or hidden licencing terms that could cause some large company to rape my ass, though if they want to rape my ass, they will do it no matter what i use, MIT or GPL

That's why I distribute the source code on loose sheets of paper. Binding is just too expensive these days.

Not to mention that binding non-LGPL GPLed libraries with your code and then distributing it puts your code under the GPL. So don't glue your listings to a GPLed library book and let somebody else check it out.
