The meaning and intent of the copyright law is quite clear.
"Discrimination against proprietary software" won't work under it.
<quote author=Stallman>
In the GNU Project, discrimination against proprietary software is
not just a policy -- it's the principle and the purpose. Proprietary
software is fundamentally unjust and wrong, so when we have the
opportunity to place it at a disadvantage, that is a good thing.
The GNU Project policy, in GNOME as in the rest of the GNU Project,
is to release libraries under the GPL, except when there's a special
benefit *to our goal* from doing otherwise for some particular
library.
