for me, that's pure nonsense. i think that it is absurd to say
that something is both open and closed. the "bad habit" of putting
the "open" prefix on any word has struck again.

here, it's not only about "openness", but freedom. you have written
about "the GPL's infectious character" and you propose the contrary.

anything from the discussion.
