Perhaps dropping a few thousand copies of linux over a few big cities or
maybe
getting a few newspaper companies to give away copies will have a similar
effect
as who is going to spend the prices MS charge for windows when they have
just
had something better delivered free with their morning paper - especially if
it includes
eqivalents of all the applications they could be considering purchasing.

The licence your customers signed wasn't the GPL. You may be able to recall the
software under that licence, remove the GPL'd code, and issue a "bug-fix" update.
I'd also improve your auditing procedures.

IANAL, but my take on this follows.
Did the licence you used when you sold your program permit resale?
What conditions did it place on resale/distribution?
If they didn't have your permission to release the source code, then
they don't have the legal ability to agree to the GPL and you don't
need to release your source code.
Of course, the 3rd party has to stop distributing the GPL'ed code,
and may even need to recal their hybrid product. Obviously this product
is not covered bythe GPL and can be recalled.
You may even have grouds for a damages claim against the people you
sold the code to, although the owners of the copyright of the GPL'd
code they used may have a better case.

Anyway, there have been enough posts here that, by now, you should be
reasonably educated about it. But I suggest you not knock something

My broadband connection set-up experience had two parts:
1. Install an updated version of dhcpcd because SuSE 6.3 has a
buggy version.
2. Start surfing.
The only way it could have been easier is if I'd been smart
enough to buy 6.4 when I had the chance.

This is completely off topic, but.. I have to ask. Was it drugs or
schizophrenia that hit you in 1992 for you to produce those sketches on
your site?
Their quality is quite good, but the content is far more twisted than
stuff I've seen come from extremely disturbed individuals. There's an
evilness and detached oddness to them that puts anything by HR Giger to
shame.
You don't gotta answer of course, but I'm genuinely curious as to their
origins.

Funny, I checked with the Egyptian Museum at the University of

Most of the folks I know in the retail business don't know how to
operate anything but windows. The technicians may know how, but the
money is in working on MS boxes. It's a "volume" thing.

ROFL - Max OS X has been in development for how many years, and only now
is it considered by 'ONE' programmer to be better than NT for game
design? And don't forget that Apple has yet to even _SHIP_ the real
version, which will probably be late like everything else they do.
