Comments on: Open-source programmer alleges Linux misuse

GPL advocate believes Motorola, 12 other companies are using Linux in violation of license that governs the software.

Gee.. its not free?

Here is yet another case of companies looking for a way to put out a product cheaper so they can make more money.

I applaud this guy. The GPL has allowed a lot of us to use and build software/applications/operating systems affordably. It allows people who cant afford to shell out thousands of dollars to IBM/Microsoft/Sun to product/develope/code products for the benefit of technology, not a money hungry rich board of directors.

Keep it up my friend. There are a lot of us out here supporting your efforts. If these companies dont want to comply they have a choice.. pay MS licensing fees for all Windows CE OS's and develop your mobile phones/WAP's etc.. on that. Huh.. too expensive huh? Afraid youll make a product that you will have to charge an extra $150 for just to cover the MS license? Too bad..

As he states.. its NOT a free license.. its a contract.. a promise to publish your code to be shared by other developers to advance that knowledge and technology of us all.

DO THE RIGHT THING!

They should have used NetBSD instead

Runs on lots of hardware, and no GPL license to bite you later.
