I'm opposed to just about anything that uses the "GPL" license, like Linux does. GPL was developed and is maintained by the Richard Stallman, who you can find more out about here:

I especially dislike it when GPL products are renamed by foreign governments, and resold abroad without a dime back to the US, like China does when they take "Red Hat" and rename it "Red Flag". All supposedly legal, according to this GPL license that many open source products use.

And the US isn't getting any money from these foreign clones, even though open source lawyers come out in public and admit their products are likely to be encroaching on the patents of others.

No wonder these countries are passing laws against US for-sale software products, when they can get a supposedly legal copy, for free, and the right to slap their own name on it.

Where will it end? According to Linus Torvalds, the son of a well known communist from Finland, only with "total world domination".
