I'm surprised that the original talk did not cover the custom Linux distro. There is a huge market of people building proprietary applications that only run on a specially built Linux distribution. Are these all derived works of the various Linux components? Certainly Linus Torvalds has weighed in on this topic w.r.t. the kernel, but what about other components?
