No, it doesn't. It's pure flamebait. Nobody wants to get herpes and it 
serves no useful purpose. On the other hand, many people happily use GPL 
software and like the fact that the source is available and will remain 
available with further distributions.

If you don't like GPL then don't use it. It's not hidden and going to 
infect you without your consent.
