Yes, I do like both Windows and Linux. I just don't like the criminals and lefties running the show.

People have plenty of choices for releasing their software, they don't have to release it under the GPL.
There's a big debate on the kernel-dev list about the use of the commercial product
BitKeeper (aka BitMover) to manage the kernel source. Larry McVoy created it as plain vanilla CVS is pretty bad at a large scale product like that. Linus likes it as its easy to use, as do a number of developers.
There's constant grumbling about this not being an open source project. Larry's response is to tell them to try and make their own. So far nothing's come of it.
I see BitMover as the new software business model: providing very quality products by a small set of hard core developers. Since their staff of non-programmers (sales, HR, marketing, etc) is minimal the software's cheaper than ones like ClearCase. They give away a free version of their product for non-commercial use to gather community goodwill and a bunch of beta testers.
