My next issue... Just sort of something to help me understand better. Where does the GPL state that I can't use LINUX in my own company. I thought that the entire reason for releasing something under the GPL is so that I am free to do with it as I please, I just can't claim the ownership of someone else's work. Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that people/companies can use the GPL software for any purpose.
The GPL is clear on the statement that the license restrictions don't cover use, only copying, modification and distribution:
<from the gpl> Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. </from the gpl>
