Just like people should have freedom of choice in choosing which
application to use, developers should have freedom of choice on how to
license their software, whether it's GPL, QPL, BSD license, or completely
proprietary.  Anyone who allows the licensing of a good product to prevent
them from using it, as long the license doesn't exclude their intended
use, is an idiot.
