I would like to add to that if a company is afraid to lose its precious source
code, just don't use our stuff.  No skin off our b*tts.  I always scratch my
head when I read these dire warnings against using Linux and GPL licensed
code.  They can go ahead and write their own OS, or live under the Microsoft
gulag.  I won't lose sleep over it. :)

It's like they think THEY're doing US a favour by using our Free/Libre code!
