You've contributed some really useful information about the GPL and the LGPL, but the whole "please don't license it under the GPL" angle did nothing but initially reduce my receptiveness to that information as a reader.
The GPL is a perfectly good license, and a lot of very good things only exist because of it. That you would implore people not to use it at all seems an unwarranted use of hyperbole, and one that does not contribute anything to your actual point, which is that people should understand the full extent of the restrictions imposed by their choice of license.
For me, all this accomplished was to put my mind on the defensive as I read the rest of your comment. I had to go back and read it a second time in order to give my mind a chance to digest the real message.
