You're right, that's the propoganda in question. I didn't say that you
can't use copylefted software to make money. I said that you can't afford
to use GCC or Bison for commercial software, because doing so may put
your software under the copyleft. This is not the same statement.

by bringing up this straw man again and again and again.
