You are taking a general statement and applying it to a very specific
circumstance.
In the particular case cited, Linux may indeed be the answer you seek.
However, in general terms, the solutions that folks like Les are looking for
can be most easily found in places other than Linux. Microsoft and Apple are
the two largest examples of such places.
Each of those introduce their own issues: OS X only runs on a limited
set of hardware and we all know about the problems with Microsoft.
However, in my opinion, the GPL, by preventing competitive combinations
of software components, has made more money for Microsoft than anything
Steve Balmer has ever said or done.
