With respect, you need to re-evaluate your concept of "reality". Just
becuase software is sold doesnt make it bad, in the same sense that
selling cars doesnt make them bad. If Cygnus or anyone else sells GNU
software or their own software or anything else, more strength to them.
*EXPECTING* free software, rather than *APPR#ECIATING* it is a far more
soul muddying concept.
