>Not to mention Linux has a much better license for end-users in that it makes some effort to guarantee the code stays free, and that corporations can't close and modify the code and redistribute it for profit.

I disagree very strongly with this statement. The best license for the end user is the one that enables the developer to thrive financially. If that license is open source it's a bonus for the end user. I also believe that the software is only truly free if you're contributing because you care, not because of a viral contractual clause.
