I hope you realize that there is a contradiction between your beliefs
(if you understand what GPL is about) and your actions. You probably
spend more time consulting about non-GPL'ed software (apache, sendmail,
X, perl etc) than GPL'ed software (Linux kernel, gcc, emacs, gdb). But
you somehow believe that "Linux" is all about GPL.
