you can not take GPLed Linux code and make up a closed source product read the XFree86 license and see why that is a license with more freedom.

OSDL Releases Position Paper on SCO and Linux Posted Aug 6, 2003 1:46 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (subscriber, #7544) [Link] > the GPL is not a free licenseThe GPL prohibits people from taking freedoms away from others. In most developed countries, we are not "free" to own or become slaves. This is not a useful freedom so we trade it for other benefits (the knowledge that we will not be enslaved). The GPL trades away a useless freedom (the freedom to take others freedom) and in return gives us the benefit of lasting freedom, in that it cannot be taken away. Ciaran O'Riordan
