"We have received an email claiming that the Kororaa Xgl Live CD is in violation of the GPL. I have been researching this as much as I can, asking many prominent people in the Linux world for their opinion. So far, no-one has agreed with the email, however a few have said to seek legal advice, which I cannot afford to do (but can't afford not to do, if I want to continue the Live CD). As such, the Live CD has been put on hold, until I can sort this out. If I cannot sort this out I will be forced to cease work on the Xgl Live CD."

Is there a good video card choice for linux?

Intel, which happens to be the most popular choice, is supported with Free drivers.

"Most popular choice"? Only because 99% of people are not given a choice when they buy a new Dell/HP.

I don't think anyone here would willingly choose Intel integrated graphics if they had the option of that vs. an NVIDIA/ATI card.

People have an option. They have the option to pay more for an nVidia/ATI board to gain something they don't need in the first place.

Intel graphics are good enough for most people's needs. They're even more than enough to run a fully accelerated X desktop.
