Your comments are inconsistant.  "Linux locks out those who want to sell
usage licenses for their software" ... "I [ ... ] makeing money selling
free software"

Linux does not lock out those who want to sell usage licenses.  It locks
out those who want to "exclusively sell" limited-use licenses.  In other
words, it locks out those who want a monopoly on software.
