Wow, Steve!
Very nice post! I am very much with you here.
You see, though I agree with you that your way of thinking is correct,
you should have a chance to talk to RMS. He has the answer to your
questions, also flawed, but still.
Like he says: books are different, if book goes from person to person,
and everyone is allowed to make changes to it (the book is GPL'd) there is no
chance that the book is getting better from this changes. (Implying that
software does get better). So GPL'ing books is a bad thing, GPL'ing software
is a good thing.
