But on the other hand, there is an objective truth about what the GPL permits
and what not. I'v just junked a message in which someone claimed that "free" as
in free software means "no money" aka "gratis". Bullshit. One of the first
things that the GNU manifesto explains is that it is "free" as in "freedom",
not as in "gratis".

People who didn't read the GNU manifesto don't kwow what they are talking
about.

Greetings,
