is comprehension of the GPL too difficult for you?
You either can't read, understand or you are just a troll. Linux is still free if you download it. No - you can't download Redhat or SUSE proprietory extensions for free. But they can charge you for putting together a complete system if they wish.
Go back to page one of "Computing for Dummies" and find out the difference between applications and OS's.
Maybe this business model involving GPL software is too complicated for you.
