[ubuntu-my] First Malaysian OS?

[Abdullah Zainul Abidin]

Actually you can sell the product. The gpl does not stop you from doing it.
But it does stop you from stopping others from distributing it. so you might
sell your software but you can't do anything if the first thing your
customer do is let people download it for free. That's the freedom that they
have. Gpl is free as in freedom, not price.

Thanks & regards,
Abdullah Zainul Abidin
