   You've missed the point.  There's nothing keeping me from doing it,

No wonder I missed that point, it's so trivial.  IBM makes it harder
for you to do it too.  Big deal.

   You missed that point to.  It's worked well for development tools and
   (somewhat less so) for end-user tools aimed at developers.  It has not
   worked in one single case for dumb end-user tools.  Show me a single
   GNU-licensed product that is popular outside of the development community.

A little over 10 years ago IBM didn't sell personal computers.  Noone
was silly enough to call the entire company a failure because of it.
GNU has only been around for about 6 years.  Don't expect miracles
over night.
