4. the original answer, if I'm not mistaken, is 80% of all developed software is custom software. If you have a contract from a customer to create something, you create it for them, you GPL it, they get the source. They could take the software to someone else, when they ever get a conflict with you. That's what the GPL is for, provide freedom to the end-users.
OK, I'll bite, straight from the Synaptic package manager (and I think it's a pretty good explanation):
Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library) Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux. Applications are run at full speed without the need of cpu emulation. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, however it can use native system dll files in place of its own if they are available.
This package includes a program loader for running unmodified Windows executables as well as the Wine project's free version of the Windows API for running programs ported from Windows.
The first reason for the existance of firewalls is to seperate authority.
For example there is a network-admin that needs to make sure people don't open ports (to for example the internet) on there local desktop machine without being authorized to do so.
If it were, Theo de Raadt would be all for using Xen/Virtualisation. Which I'm very sure he isn't.
Where layers work is, is when it's used for seperation.
Adding more layers is a bad thing, less code is better. It's easier to verify that it doesn't have any mistakes my it's developers and by their peers (as in peerreview).
If I understand it correctly, there was a period where he was at the office so often, that he felt going home and back just to sleep was a waste of time, so he stayed at the office (and because of the extra expanse didn't need/have a home).
This however isn't the current situation as I've been meant to believe.

To answer your question, yes the utilities are user GPL-license.
Actually it's an architectural problem and they said they are working on it.
I think you meant WebKit, not NetKit.
Remembering (or keeping a text-file on an other screen) with cookies for logins suck though.
I always think when I see things like this, we are moving more and more to something like the ideas of
Linux NOW.
Would that be the mostly male half ? ;-)
Sorry, just kidding.

Creative Commons != GPL
I agree.
I've had one female programmer co-worker and her code wasn't better or worse, or even different.
But who are actually coders ?
Co-workers could be anything.
Open is already interrested.
Maybe you should use a different profile (-P option in startup), that way you could also install all the extensions listed at the pornzilla-site.
Well, yes I've heared people say one week, everything is fine and weeks later, Vista is crap.
And I've read horror stories on fora like this about Vista just dying and never getting up.
And I'll stop right there, that sounds to much like FUD. That was just hearsay.
You however have other problems I'm guessing. ;-)
I thought SSL MITM isn't possible, could you please point me to a page explaining how that works ?
Atleast when certificates are properly checked it shouldn't be possible.
Actually Theo de Raadt is an example.

I don't usually play games, so I tried them now, the fps and top of the screen clitches suck pretty badly.
I wouldn't say security is _all_ about layers.
Because... well it isn't.
If it were, Theo de Raadt would be all for using Xen/Virtualisation. Which I'm very sure he isn't.

I have a core duo system here with an intel GPU and Ubuntu on it, 3D looks fine by me and is fast.
You could also choose to install libswfdec or gnash instead of 'normal' flash.
For me installing libswfdec has gotten me pretty good results. I haven't missed anything so far (it's only been 3 weeks though).
I just had 1 video going a bit to fast for a moment, pressing pause and play again solved that.
And I've not had any crashes, like with flash.
Gnash on Ubuntu wasn't as good as libswfdec as far as I could see from my testing.

Sure, it's a really good sandbox... not really.
If you have an exploitable plugin installed your still fucked.
WebKit is LGPL
I prefer not to use a language or code where I need an special editor to get any work done.
