GNU's intent is to > hamper commercial software to the benefit of free software. > Taken out of context, it would appear so. However, there is also this, from the preamble to the GPL: "When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things." Many people are confused by the word "free" as it relates to GPL licensed software. It means non-proprietary, -not- non-commercial. There -is- a difference. Bottom line is that a commercial entity wanting to leverage GPL'd work into its offerings saves $$$ on R&D, but must be willing to allow its own source contributions to be made available for use, redistribution, further development, re-engineering, refactoring and peer review by others not associated with itself. This does -not- mean it is in any way prohibited from selling a product to those who have no interest, or immediate interest, in any of the above and simply want a program to do a job as quickly and efficiently as they can get it up and running. There is a market (in some venues a -huge- market) for point->click_>install->run! :-) Also, part of the standard GPL is this: "11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION." which also has certain advantages to a commercial entity, especially to those not of the "deep-pockets" crowd. While there may be imposed restrictions on the effective extent of the above (which may vary, in the US, from state to state) it is still a protection of sorts to the developer, especially when source code is modified by end users downline. OTOH, an entity which does not wish to make source code available is free to reinvent the wheel and spend the R&D $$$ necessary, keep its source closed and, like the GPL developer if s/he elects, charge whatever they want for the end product (or what the market will bear). Naturally, their costs going into the project will be that much greater due to the fact they are not able to leverage prior art that is GPL'd. It's a choice. Ultimately, the end-user market will be the guiding influence as to which choice is better. Regards, W. Kent Starr elderburn@mindspring.com
