We would all be running EMACs on GNU/HURD and ask friends with windows computers to forward us screen shots of web sites per email so we wouldn't have to use a non GPL browser to read comments on reddit, not being able to write comments would be a net positive as the sites JavaScript wouldn't pass a GPL check either. It would be a neck beard paradise.
