You may not be a guru, and you may know business, but you don't
understand what the word "free" means. At least not in the context of
the GNU Public License. From the words of RMS: "Think free speech,
not free beer."
Also, there is nothing in the GPL that says I can't make a profit by
selling Linux software covered by that license.

possibly be suggesting that Linux could beat Microsoft if it's
software was based on Windows 98.
