The fact that Linux is free doesn't mean that there are no rules with regard
to its use and ownership.
All these companies you mention clearly think that what those "Linuxfcks"
create is a good choice for their own products. And they have a huge amount
of freedom to use Linux in their products -- just not the freedom to grab
it, add their own secret sauce to it and then lock it away as their own
property.

You trolls seem to be incapable of understanding the concept that those who
created something have the legal right to decide how it's used.
Or actually, you seem to understand this perfectly well when we're talking
about Microsoft's excrements; you think nothing of it when users are
limited in their rights and continuously policed by software lest they do
something that doesn't please either Microsoft or the media mafia. But as
soon as Linux comes into view, your understanding instantly evaporates,
even though it comes with the almost unlimited right to use and distribute
it -- just not the right to proprietize it.
Dumb hypocrites.
