That really IS a whopper. The GPL ensures that Linux certainly CANNOT
be used "for all licit purposes both non-profit and for-profit." And
ESR knows it. This demonstrates his hypocrisy and that of the OSI: they
refuse to admit that the GPL is destructive and violates their own "Open
Source Definition."
