The viral part is only to prevent what one person has opened from being closed by another. RMS doesn’t like lots of things (Coca-Cola company, for instance), but he doesn’t (unlike in the licence discussed in the main story) build his dislike of those things into any GPL licences. None of them say “cannot by used by the Coca-Cola company”.
I’ve surely been around longer than you, and understand the history of various licences, GPL, MIT, BSD, etc. Rather than trying to sound clever, you’d better to take your own advice.
