They set the trap by claiming their software is “free” but **if anyone** uses it to make any money expect them to come crashing your door down that you violated their license

Can you post a link to FSF going after RedHat or Google who make money on GPL software? FSF goes after people who (a) Cant Read, (b) Dont Read, or (c) Try to steal copyrighted material.
Eben Moglen has been very critical of Google for not contributing more especially lately, and even hinted future versions of the GPL may require you to give up your code even if you don’t distribute it to end users. Red Hat has also been criticized for not handing all of their tools over either, I don’t know what planet you’ve been on but the FSF doesn’t approve of ANY proprietary or closed software, their exact mission is to make all software their definition of “free”. Most companies that make money don’t feel that way of course, but that’s why you have these constant attacks from the FSF. Did they take the streets in their hazmat suits yet LOL?
