As in any business, you should use the best tools. If using GNU software on
some project puts you at a disadvantage, then don't use it for that project.
If the GNU runtime library cost $10,000 and had exactly the same conditions,
then you might not be complaining. Instead, you would be buying some cheaper
piece of code and abiding by somebody else's terms. You still have that
option!
