The "Free Software Foundation" (http://www.fsf.org) claims to promote the development of software that's "free as in speech, not as in beer." But the fact is that the software released by this organization is covered by a license which is blatantly anti-business and anti-programmer. It allows any user to use the software for free (making it "free as in beer," despite what the organization claims) but prevents a programmer who does not want to "reprogram the wheel" from using the code in an application that's sold commercially. In short, the code is not "free" at all. Read the group's "GNU Public License" for some truly devious and misleading propaganda.
