If you don't consider the GPL to be boogieman, how do you feel about predatory lenders and loan sharks? All of them are just agreements...right?
In a predatory lending/loan sharking scheme, the lender offers their product (money) to people who need it (borrowers) who must agree to extraordinarily high interest rates.
This seems very similar to the GPL since it's just a software agreement that includes extraordinary clauses for developer who "borrows" the product.
