Exactly what I've done for one of my own software. This is REALLY wonderful. Each time the app crashes I (by default) receive an email with a copy to the local admin as configured by him.
Of course for privacy reasons, this is NOT activated by default. The admin MUST change the configuration file for the thing to be activated, and of course he CAN CHOOSE WHO will receive the complete exception traceback (including a dump of the environment and command line arguments).
This helped me fix bugs as soon as someone encountered them on multiple occasions.
The problem is do you enjoy your life more because you've got more money to spend and no free time to spend it, or do you enjoy it because you've got a lot of free time, less money (not only because of taxes, wages are lower here anyway), cheap healthcare and so on ?

If you have to count the list on a single hand, that's because you're doing something ugly with the other one;-)
Nobody will force these companies to use software licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL v3.
BTW Apache, and possibly Tomcat, are NOT licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL.
The free riders and/or patent holders will have to stick with older versions, that's all. If they don't agree, then let them rewrite from scratch. In any case it will be THEIR choice, like it is currently THEIR choice to patent things.
Why would big companies be allowed to piss on Free Software developers and not expect some form of retaliation ?

Why is this rated as "Funny" ?
This should be rated as "Insightful" instead.

I've found no signature at all in your post, let alone an intelligent one.

Buy ! Buy ! Buy !
Would you also enjoy your life without having to buy something ?
> does that make me a bad person?
No !
I've not written anything like that in my post.
The problem is do you enjoy your life more because you've got more money to spend and no free time to spend it, or do you enjoy it because you've got a lot of free time, less money (not only because of taxes, wages are lower here anyway), cheap healthcare and so on ?
You're 100% Free to choose the former one.

There's absolutely NO problem.

Of course it is the best choice : you forgot to say that we drink huge quantities of wine with all this good stuff !!!
And frankly, a year on Mars without wine would be horrific !
