personally I ENCOURAGE people to read my code (it needs improvement:). You can still sell programs -- this allows people to make changes to something they have bought and own -- which I see as great and necessary. if you buy a stereo do they put padlocks on the screws..? no. we can wire it to our hearts content (as long as we realize that they don't have to help us if we screw it up)
read the GPL.
yes, one kernel (linux) but different versions/different capabilities compiled in, etc. but how you said that makes me wonder: "and they only use one kernel!". exactly what are you implying by that? you have piqued my curiosity...
are you saying it is better to have 2 different and incompatible kernels??? personally, I think it is much better to concentrate on the development on one project than to sever development into two or more projects...

I can only hope that we'll never see it...
