I can't imagine how I gave you that impression.

I am saying that many of those people have a deep misunderstanding of the 
GPL.

I know that there are many people who do understand the GPL and have good 
reasons not to like it.  I understand these reasons and this is not what I 
have been talking about.  The fact that certain people might have reasons 
not to like the GPL does not make the GPL viral.  It simply makes it a 
license that some people don't like.

What I have been arguing is that the GPL is not viral.
You might not like it, but it's still not viral.
