But that is already exactly what the GPL does: prohibits end users from closing the code and blocking others they distribute to from enjoying the same freedoms. I was being certainly snarky but do see a validity in requiring a certain degree of openness to allow porting a codebase to a new platform. I don't want to see Mac fanboys supporting the walled garden of hardware, and now software, with their cash while relying on GPL tools to make things work.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
