Ignoring? No, I have responded: I have no opinion on the
legal aspects of the GPL. I have knowledge that some people
within the open source community have expressed concerns
about the legality, but I don't understand why. I have
the opinion (more of a hope, actually) that it will be
found to be valid. I've said all that: you have not
been ignored.

But I ask again: what is YOUR opinion and why should I care?
