You're talking about GNU, not Linux. The end goal of GNU is to have a Free Unix-like operating system. I don't know what the end goal of Linux is, with Linus' rejection of the GPLv3 draft and ESR's willingness to sacrifice freedom for popularity I think it is now clear that their goal is not the same as GNU's.
The company that makes the bike transponders has a near-monopoly in radio control car timing systems. I wanted to write a free/open source timing software to manage our club races but the company requires developers to sign a non-disclosure agreement if they want to know the interface specs. Oh, and hello slashdot! (first post)
