Uh yes. We were talking about _market_ value of GPL software
business. Now you want to exclude everything for which one has to
pay. How much more stupid can you get?
Well I find it difficult to achieve your level, of course, but I would
claim that, absent Linux per se, Red Hat could be in the same business
doing the same things and be focused on freeBSD Unix.
Focus, please focus. Now you are talking about a decrease of the GPL
market in a fantasy world of yours.
Or the GPL could be revoked and Red Hat would continue to be in the
same business doing the same thing as before.
Nobody was talking about the GPL market in fantasy worlds.
Microsoft could be a company selling green cheese, but that makes no
statement about the dairy market in _this_ world.
Well, if that sort of nonsense is all you have left to mention, it is a good
sign that you now understand the conventional meaning of market value and
see that open source software is a very minor player on that stage and
understand the insignificance of the GPL in terms of market power. I think
my work is finished here and I can move off to newer threads.
