There are reasons for using different licenses. However, to be ethical, a license must not contain the GPL's poison pill. The purpose of the GPL is to advance a specific agenda which is harmful. It is therefore never appropriate or ethical to use it. I fear that too many developers have followed, like cattle, along Stallman's path without recognizing where it leads.Hmmm..... Considering where it does lead, maybe that makes them lemmings, not cattle.
