Of course. Here's the root of your mistake: > ...thus increasing the adoption of Linux... You are starting from the incorrect assumtion that our goal is simple popularity. "adoption of Linux" is not the goal (adoption of GNU/Linux is also not the goal). The goal is to allow people to use a computer in freedom. It's not important which Free Software operating system is the most popular. GNU/Linux is probably our best bet though, because it's freedom is mostly protected with copyleft licenses such as the GNU GPL. If you can convince your company to release it's software under the GNU GPL, it would be a great contribution. You say that relicensing is not possible? Many great men have done what people previously said was impossible.

Granted. Okay, we're not arguing the same argument, then. Pax. It seems nd's meds are a bit off.
