63% is not significantly less than 75%. Stallman's licenses are still the predominant licenses on even the commercial versions of Linux.

Ahem..

N3WBI3 says: "But if you count mainstream in use software like the contents of a RedHat CD its far south of 80%."

One: I never said far south of 75%, I said 80%. But just make up whatever you want, were used to it.

Two: 63 is only three quarters of 80, I know 25% might now be significant to you, at least its not when it suits you, but it is, in fact, significant.

Stallman's licenses are still the predominant licenses on even the commercial versions of Linux.

And yet RedHat is a growing, healthy company kinda shows the the GPL and capitalism are not incompatible... thanks for making my point, it took me awhile to lead you here but that statement was worth the time..
