I'm not sure that it's fanaticism. Beggars can't be choosers. You're supposed to be using the software that deals with the problem, not some half-assed GPL'd variant. Basically what it amounts to is a royalty fee to commercial developers using Larry's software to make money for themselves. We're developing free software, therefore we are not required to pay for a commercial license.
Money has nothing to do with it whatsoever.
Last time I read the GPL, it was perfectly legal to sell software licensed under it for fun and profit with the provisos of the GPL such as you provide the full source code with it, it's allowed to be modified, etc. I think you can now safely crawl back under your rock and stop your weak attempt at barricading the continued success of the Linux operating system.
