Not so. The (L)GPL allows everyone to use the code in the way
that benefits him or her the most, EXCEPT for developers -- who
not only may not use the code but may be exposed to claims of 
copyright infringement if they even read it in order to learn
from it. The (L)GPL is also intended to destroy their markets,
businesses, and livelihoods. The (L)GPL is thus extremely
discriminatory against programmers.
