I use several OSes. (See http://www.conmicro.cx/homebox.html for the list.)

I object to the Stallmanite point of view, and refuse to support it. That
doesn't mean that I can't make use of the stuff they choose to give away, as
long as I take steps to make sure their viral license doesn't infect my
work.

The Stallmanite argument about the name of Linus' OS is shown to be truly
absurd by the fact that, even though the usual compiler to build *BSD is
gcc, and the common library is glibc, he doesn't insist on calling it
GNU/BSD...or GNU/Mac OS X...
