GNU, GPL, Open Source "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."

Thats the reason why I say screw it and use FreeBSD as my UNIX environment. Its feature set is on par with Linux and I dont have to see the GPL guys jump on top of tables and scream "FREEDOM!!!" in semi-Mel Gibson in Braveheart style.
