Not that I care about anything GPL (rejected it long ago), but how is 
calling GPL'd code "viral" not appropriate when just placing uninfected 
code next to it, infects it?

On another note: Isn't the goal of GPL to offer "crap code" with the 
intent-of/attempt-at getting good (valuable/saleable/researched/developd) 
code? A "something for nothing", "Gen Y", "entitlement" mindset? See:
