Going to court and losing, while not fun, should be instructive to the GPL community. A loss will either point out areas that need to be changed in the next GPL license version, or that a GPL-style license is not viable.
Weird, I asked and to my wife "scrappy" meant someone who gets into physical altercations. References were made to a family member who has a volatile personality.
To me, a "scrappy person" has always been someone who, when life or a situation knocks them down, they get back up and try again. I was not aware that this was a derogatory term.
A couple years ago, as a happily married 35 year old, I took a few math and physics classes for fun at a nearby community college.
I purposely would not talk to the younger crowd for exactly this "Creepy" issue. Luckily there were a few older students around that I could talk with.
I found after a few classes that the younger people (especially home-schoolers) who had real interest in the technical subjects would seek you out in the math and science labs. I ended up being friends with a few of these students, to the point where they would ask to sync class schedules so that we could work on projects together.
(Males only; there were some smart females in my classes, but for a variety of reasons I had as little to do with them as possible.)
It seems kind of unfair that a person feels compelled to distance themselves from like-minded people, just because of an age difference.
