    What about car manufactures advertising how fast their cars are? Sure you can say that there are places that you can legally drive that fast, but take a look at the comercials. None of those places are represented and they are 99% of the time on a standard major US highway where legal speed limit is at most 75MPH.

    You can't, legally, only use it within a company. You can only use it yourself, and no others. As soon as you give it to someone else it is distributed and you are required to give that person all changes. You cannot restrict them from doing the same to someone else.

    About the only User Friendly that I saw that made me laugh out loud was back in 98-99 time zone when they were first allowed to install Linux on all their servers. They had a battle on which one to use. They installed one distro then one of them went through and replace them with another distro. They were sitting on the gnome 0.3 or whatever desktop and he was say "It just feels wrong!!" Even though it was exactly the same.

    Without the GPL I would be about the same place it is now. Like it or not the GPL requires that if a company uses and adds to Linux they have to give back. The BSDs would all be used and abused but wouldn't get the company support that Linux has. Look at how Microsoft ripped the TCP stack from BSD. Did BSD get any benifit from that? Other than bragging "Windows uses our network stack!!" Well not really something to brag about.

    It may not make you or anyone happy but it does force the improvement of Linux as a whole.
