More people need to understand that free and open source software is like an illegal alien in the corporate world. By that I mean that it is seen by corporations as cheap labor/product to be exploited, and nothing more. For example: "I expect you to clean my bathrooms and/or do manual labor in a field, and I don't want to pay you a reasonable wage or provide medical benefits." The above sentence being analogous to how business sees open source software.

Again, Linux and the entire FOSS ecosystem is nothing more than free product for business to exploit from their perspective. Another example of this is how many online TV services will refuse to work if you are on a laptop running Linux, even while all their servers either run Linux or FreeBSD and they sell locked-down, ewaste consumer appliances like tablets, game consoles and streaming sticks that rely on and run... you guessed it... Linux or BSD by the millions.

The GPL is the only mechanism of defense that the public has against the interests of big business; no wonder they slander it so much.
