GPL - 123

Actually, the GPL mostly states that, basically, the source code must be included with the software, or available free. GPL software can be sold, I believe, but that may depend on other restrictions the programmers decide on.

Time IS Money - OpenOSX

HONESTLY: that someone would actually pay $60 for NOTHING as everything on the cd is available somewhere for FREE. It's also just a shameless exploitation of opensource software that wasn't meant to be sold by the greedy. In 5 minutes you could find some instructions about installation via Google. You are nothing but a greedy con artist. You have nothing to sell. You reap profits from others' hard work that is offered for free to individuals who understand how opensosurce works. You're in the grey area yourself and probably violating the GPL'd rules.

OpenOSX is not in a "gray area" and is in-fact in full-complience with the GPL. If you honsetly think that you could install and configure: Apache version 2.0.54 with PHP 5.0.4, Jakarta Tomcat 4.1.31 with mod_jk 1.2.4, mod_perl 2.0.2, MySQL 4.1.13 and mod_ssl 2.0.54; the included, completely-configured web applications include: phpShop 0.8, PhpWiki 1.2, PHP-Nuke 7.8, PhpCollab 2.5rc3, PhpDig 1.8.8rc1, phpMyAdmin 2.6.3, phpBB 2.0.17, phpAdsNew 2.0.5, phpPolls, WebCalender 1.0.1, phpSysInfo, etc. in five minutes from google than you must be a fool.
