Hi,
I don't argue the GNU ideology now, I just believe that PRACTICALLY there are no "software houses" (or individual programmers) in Israel which produce GPL software as their main business, and which survive and succeed for more than 5 years.
I have worked in various jobs (sub contractor) with GPL code and contributed back, either patches (for configuring and compiling), either SPEC or RPMs, and lots of scripts for people who asked me, all under GPL. Today, at my work, I work with several dozens of applications, all are open source, some GPL and some other open-source license, and if I'm modifing/adding stuff, I'll ask my company management and I'll submit the code back. Is it good enough example? :) I also know that quite a lot of companies (like Shachar's LinGNU), qumranet (KVM modules inside the kernel is their code), and quite few other companies are working on GPL code, and those programming make pretty good salaries, and most of them contribute the code back to the community.
