the terms on the gpl are (by choice) the strictiest (does that word even
exists?) ever seen in a free software license. but a lot of people
'believe' in free software and have elected the gpl as their license of
choice. because of their true faith :) they are also pickier at license
compatibility. i am sure that the QPL and the ZPL are completely
incompatible but nobody cares because nobody really thinks that one is
better than the other... 

anyway, don't see it as a war. it is more like natural selection... 

federico (a real believer :) )
