You Can't Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source 550
Reader gbulmash sends us to his essay on the fallacy of those who would abolish copyright. The argument is that without copyright granting an author the right to set licensing terms for his/her work, the GPL could not be enforced. The essay concludes that if you support the GPL or any open source license (other than public domain), your fight should be not about how to abolish copyright, but how to reform copyright.
Of course he's in favor of copyrights ... (Score:5, Funny)

I don't know about that. If I, for example, steal someone's car I'm not necessary against property rights in general; I'm just a thieving bastard.
