That's so? How about GPL-reduced, as you're taking away freedoms it
expressly allows?

What's with the _plus_? Since when is subtracting something additive?

Let me finish the sentence; "This is my manifesto!".

This is not a GPL licence, nor does it bear any relationship to it. The
BPL (Betov Political Licence) is a polemic from a political dinosaur.
It's a last not-so-grand gesture in the Marxist Gallic tradition; full
of sound and fury, and signifying nothing.

A shame you can't see that the enemy of freedom is within you.
