Ever wanted to know what the differences were, but didn't want to read through the whole bloody thing? This article compares the EULA of Windows XP and the GNU GPL (the basis of all Linux distro's "EULA" for all you non-in-the-know Windows people ;) ).

If ya don't believe it, then just read through your EULA and the GPL and put your own summary up. I dare ya :mrgreen:

Overview of the GPL versus other license agreements:

Input from Stallman and Linus among others. Personally, I think Stallman has become lost in the dogma and forgotten the purpose--using software.
