>it would be effectively impossible for any company that is smaller than Apple to maintain everything they need to make software proprietary.

Why does it need to be proprietary in the first place though. I feel like the arguments I am hearing are making assumptions about the desired outcome to support their reasoning.

Sorry, I don't think my tone was clear. It's a good thing that it would make proprietary software effectively impossible to maintain (I'm a huge proponent of both copyleft and free software). I completely agree with your GP comment. ;)
