> Forcing all of your code to be GPL is like saying “I am on a diet, so now I will force everyone else be on the same diet. Freedom!”

This is a terrible analogy. Here’s a better one: I’m holding a potluck. If you decide to come, you can eat all you want. If you take food from my event, you can’t hoard it, you must share it, even if you’ve “made it better” by changing it somehow after you left.

Don’t like my rules? OK, don’t come to my potluck.
