Really, so if RedHat decided not to provide an FTP site for their distribution that would be OK?
Yes. The only thing that the GPL requires if you give/sell the software to anyone, you should provide the source at nominal fee on request to that same person. You are not obliged to give/sell the software to anyone else, much less to put it on an FTP server.
I think if you really need data sets over 4GB, it should be possible to split it over more than one file in your application. The kind of overhead this would give could be smaller than the overhead you'd get from a 64 bit file system, since it would be tailor made for your application. Once you have this flexibility in your system, users that would like to use multiple disks could also benefit from the possibility.
For a moment I thought this article was about really flat monitors. But no, it's about monitors with a flat surface. This is nice of course, but I don't think they will be any competition for LCD monitors once they come down in price. It's about time we can get our non-virtual desk real estate back!

Well, I suppose they will get a realistic view of the heat production with this setup...

It is in the man page: do a `man ls' and scroll to the bottom of a page:
