Bob Young on IP

Let me be clear: Intellectual Property rights (IP) such as patents
and copyrights are good things. But like anything in life too much
of a good thing no longer is good. Too little vitamin D and you get
bone diseases. Too much vitamin D will kill you. IP can be useful to
independent inventors to protect their invention from being copied and
marketed by larger distributors without compensation to the inventor. But
today IP is mostly used by the armies of lawyers employed by the largest
technology and publishing companies to squash potential competitors who
don't have access to equivalent legal resources.

Why does his company then, release software only under a "no IP"
license - aka GPL ? He likes bone disease ?
