GNU, GPL, Open Source Free software advocates focus on the ability to share, develop, and improve software as a community effort. But how do these freedoms affect the business community? David Chisnall takes a look.

ROFLMAO. The second part of "Freedom 3" is not a freedom, it's an artificial compulsion created by the license verbiage. The freedom to not release my changes is a real freedom; the GPL simply makes sure that I have no choice (if I am actually distributing it in some way).

Please don't insult people's intelligence by implying that this is a "freedom". It's very unbecoming.
