   I'm simply amazed that this argument even exists.  Richard Stallman and
   the GNU project have already revolutionized computing.  Although "free
   software" is the main impetus for this project, GCC may have saved many
   "orphan computers" from oblivion.  We have been *given* wonderful
   products to use.  Even the development of commercial, non-free software
   can be done using GNU products.  What you can't do is sell a GNU
   product!

I concur,  I use almost exclusively all GNU programs in my development
environment, emacs, fileutils, tar, cpio, etc.. ( gcc soon! ).  Without
such I'd be on a machine that keeps drifting further and further out of
the mainstream.  At least now I have relatively 'modern' programs.  My hat
goes off to all the people who work on the GNU project.

I don't worry too much about the GPL, my company doesn't sell software
publicly, all of our software is for in company use.

Just my .02 worth...
