"and increasingly more businesses will do business with the GPL, because it is good business."

And a different kind of business too, of which Linux Distros seems obvious candidates,... Who would mind having its own tayler maide distro ?

I think, that in case of serious IT projects, special distros are part of the whole system. For instance, a kiosk installer, which has only all the nessesary, CLIENT SPECIFIC software configured and set up, not to mention, special distros are pretty common "inhouse". I guess that some web-related(wall, Storage_A.Network stuff, mail, etc) distros are grown out of inhouse special distros. So, it's good and relaxing fact for us.
