Red Hat is free and opensource for example, yet it is more expensive than Windows or Mac OSX. Most of the scripts and addons for Joomla and other CMS's are licensed under the GPL, and are free and opensource, but you do have to pay for them.

I can afford to buy the whole adobe creative suit right now and I wouldn't. Partly due to GIMP being better but mostly due to it being Free GIMP is extremely superior to Photoshop imo.

I didn't know that. When did he do that? Also, question is how much code is licensed under Linus' modification, and how much under the original. Does Linux project requre all to be licensed under the modified GPL? Thanks for your info. Wow. I didn’t know that. When did he do that?

The problem is that Linus Torvalds licensed the Linux kernel under the GPLv2 but he removed the "or any later version" sentence from the licese just because he didn't liked it. So... that's why the kernel is now not able to upgrade to a more modern license The GPL has a statement that says that it can be distributed “as this version or as any later version” …so GPLv2 can be relicensed as GPLv3.

Next, I used Free Software (FS) and Open Source (OS) to describe the movements & development models (let's say). But the code itself is GPLed. Stallman himself said, the code is free either way. Then, Mac OS X is based on MIT licensed Mach (I should've been more exact). ...I think that's about it. Few corrections: MIT’s license is older than GPL it seems (1 yr), so GPL isn’t the oldest.
