It's just a (overly complicated) software license.

"Fortunately with the GPL you know what the rules are upfront, so you can make an educated decision on whether to use code restricted by that license or not."

And with other licenses, this isn't true?

"Rest assured, most people out there see this as a religious issue the same way that FSF does. "

And this is what makes the GPL different from all other open source licenses.

"Personally, I do think it's a good idea to have extremists around simply to protect a certain point of view that is a legitimate point of view (I'll use Jesse Jackson and Rush Limbaugh as two polar opposite examples)."

The legitimacy of an opinion is in the eye of the beholder.
