You appear terminally confused. The purpose of the GPL as defined by its authors is not commercial success, world domination or making zillions of dollars - it is keeping the software protected by that license "free" in terms of liberty as measured against the set of freedoms to run/modify/etc they discuss in the licence document. The fact this is a good license for making zillions of dollars, producing good software and the like is either incidental or a logical result of the protection of freedoms depending upon which views you believe. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
