1) First of all, what would a device with no disk need with a VM?
2) Secondly, isn't USB support pretty good in 2.2? I thought it was backported from 2.4.
The X Windows free edition is under a QPL/GPL dual licence. Therefore, you can use it under the terms of either the QPL or the GPL.
They restrict the usage by the linking restrictions included in both licenses. A library under the GPL can only be linked with GPL applications. I believe the QPL allows linking with other open source licences (BSD, etc.).

The license is a MPL based one, yes, but I believe it would not qualify as a "free software" or even an "open source" license. Here's at least one offending section:
e) Notwithstanding Sections 2.2 (a), (b), and (c) above, no license
may be granted to You by Contributor, under any intellectual property rights
including patent rights, to modify the code in such a way as to create or accept
data that is incompatible with data produced or accepted by the Original Code.
By way of example but not limitation, a Modification that adds support for other
compression data such as MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 would be permissible, but only if the
resulting Larger Work continues to support playback of VP3.2 data.
Modifications that provide only playback or encode support are also permissible.
However, a Modification that adds support for encoding or playback of any non-
VP3.2 compatible files or bitstreams without complementary support for VP3.2
encoding or playback is not permissible, and no license is granted for such
Modification(s).
Do you think a SETI project would turn down anyone who wanted to give to them? Considering the difficulty SETI projects have getting funding, I'm sure they're happy to take the money.
If you really think that giving money to SETI@home is part of Paul Allen's/Microsoft's plans of world domination, then you are a sad, sad, person.
When I convinced my mom and dad to get ISDN at home (best Internet service short of T1 out here in a town of 1200 people), I managed to get them to have Cat 5 cable run all over the house. 5 PCs for the 3 of us, running Windows 95/2k, Linux, and one w/OpenBSD. My dad (geek) likes being able to have Internet access from the living room, my mom (not a geek) and I (geek) really just like the faster speed (24k dialup before ISDN). It wasn't easy to sell to them, especially running cable to almost every room, but they both really like it now. It's really worth it, especially if you're building, just put that cabling in to start with!

The people who play that define "game addict".
I don't really understand your objectons.

I could be wrong, please enlighten me if so.

Lol....no territorial ambitions!?! Tell that to the people of Taiwan, Tibet, and Vietnam.
Haven't checked, but I believe it is under a BSD-style license.
You know, that's pretty damn petty.

Well, sorta...it's a family geek house.:)
