And how does that conflict with the license strategy I've been 
advocating? (That strategy being to allow personal and business use but 
not allowing packaging for sale or value adding without compensation.) 
You'd get my software and presumably send me a nice "Thank You!" card in 
the mail. I'd get my warm-fuzzy feeling of having done charity work for 
the deserving middle-class geeks. RedHat would have to come to me and 
offer me some stock or some cash or some other compensation if they 
wanted to use my software as a business venture. Seems to me everyone wins.
