[ale] Time to stir the pot

[Jim Kinney]

the hole is in the GPLv2 and closed in the GPLv3.

Read the wikipedia article on the formation of agpl license.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License . It not a GNU
license in that it originated outside of GNU but the critical section was
used as a basis for the hole closing in GPLv3.
Of course when GNU tinketed they also called theirs agpl. Grr.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
