> GPL runs counter to everything capitalism stands for. That's the point (or at least one of them). Though I personally don't care if it is GPL or not, as someone interested in perhaps using this OS for commercial purposes at some point it's not being GPL is a slight plus for me. However, one key point of the GPL is to create a commons (of software, hardware, protocols, etc.) that can't be exploited for gain by capitalists, that can't be exploited for economic rent, that can't be laden down with copyrights and patents. A system that is actually, truly free (as in freedom). Which is important to understand if you want to be intellectually honest.
