   May I ask, why you spend so much time to create   
   a PD operating system? PD is great for trivial   
   programs or a quick and dirty hack to show some   
   principles (like the jpeg decoder), but for bigger,   
   useful software (like an OS), GPL is much superior.   
   Everybody has the freedom to enslave PD software,   
   but GPL software is free for ever, nobody can   
   enslave it. So, PD software is the extreme opposite   
   of free software.
