To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts,
by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors
the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and
Discoveries.

The GPL purportedly functions to “guarantee [users’]
freedom to share and change free software.” (GPL Preamble.)
As alleged, the GPL in no way forecloses other operating
systems from entering the market. Instead, it merely acts
as a means by which certain software may be copied,
modified and redistributed without violating the software’s
copyright protection. As such, the GPL encourages, rather
than discourages, free competition and the distribution of
computer operating systems, the benefits of which directly
pass to consumers. These benefits include lower prices,
better access and more innovation.
While ant-GPL cranks complain, courts see that the GPL promotes
good public policy.
