Well, there is stupid people that laugh at important things.

You didn't understand it...
GPL is not about reading others code... but giving you the freedom to copy, 
modify and resuse it under the GPL License.

No, because all the code is under the GPL.
If you read it, and code it on your way, then you could set whatever license 
you 
want... it is up to your ethical being to say if you use GPL or not.

You are totally wrong... GPL allow us the common user to join and build a big, 
great product. From my personal experience, I could have never build such 
project as mine is without GPL.

GPL promote talents as everyone learn fasters, so yes it do a leverage, but you 
get a better level that those close source fanatic. :-/

GPL is not about companies, but about users.
GPL means to refuse to a lot of rights so that your users can share your work.

I suppose that Nevrax is using GPL because:
1) It make faster the development.
2) The user base is also developers base
3) The open architecture means bugs are found faster and easier.
4) Port to other OS are almost automatic.
5) Personal Challenge ( 1st commercial GPL game )

Why in the hell people thing that Communism, Jew or Gay are bad things???

Man... you have serious problems with your ethics.
If you say... "Mine is the best wine of the world", just tell me how you did, 
and I will do one better. What we have? A wine that is better than the better.
And as my way is not secret and open and free to use, someone will use it to 
create an even better one. 
That is what GPL is about, only fools don't understand.

Yes, Your world will die, because a new one will appear where there is no more 
secrets, where you won't be able to sell ideas, where you won't be allowed to 
forbid people to copy and share apps.

GPL people is different. We tollerate different opinions.

You are really inside... you should go back to school and learn something about 
ethics.
