    Neither taint nor _GPL are intended to stop people doing things that, in
    the eyes of the masses, are stupid. The taint mark is there to ensure
    that they don't harm the rest of us. The FSF view of freedom is freedom
    to modify not freedom to modify in a manner approved by some defining
    body.
