Interesting reading if you like legal briefs :

http://info.lindows.com/lindows/

this makes me think of the open group objecting to uses of 'UNIX' , lindows says what windows is now a generic term and therefor can be used without trademark violation, interesting....

Man that's a read and a half !!

Now what I'm waiting for is for someone to take all of the code that still falls under the GNU license (most of the operating system, as I see it) or another code-distributable license, and post it publicly.

According to the GNU license, you can charge for the code if you want, but then it leaves your control - the licensing party can resell or redistribute as they wish.

According to this link, they "ask" that you not redistribute, but as it pertains to specific code, I don't think they can restrict you from doing so.
