hmm, yes, as I suspected.

This is IMO, the bigest reason why Linux is doomed to failure in the long
term.

Those self same coders who donated millions of man horus of time free of
charge now get to see someone ride the GPL right to the line, and bolt some
noncy little bit of code on the top, less than a thousandth of a percent of
the total codebase, then sell it as a proprietary solution.

sickening.

And of course, will ultimately drive away those selfless guys who did the
*real* work.
