>> Free software was never about "free upgrades forever". It's about the freedom to fork.

I never noticed the word "fork" in the GPL. You may want to reread it, as I think you missed the point.

Are you seriously trying to imply that the GPL isn't largely about granting you the freedom to fork? Sure, it's also about forcing the copyleft responsibility on you. But come on... That's not even relevant if you don't fork or otherwise depend on the project in the first place
