GNU stuff is *not* free. It costs something other than money, though: it costs

Wait a minute. Engage brain before fingers. Just how much do you
think it will cost you if you include any AT&T code in your product?
Especially if you don't ask them about it first. Lawyers ain't
exactly cheap.
I believe that the statement is: the GNU stuff doesn't cost you
anything to install. The AT&T stuff costs bucks and "doesn't work as
well" (no comment on that last since I run the GNU stuff and haven't
tried the AT&T stuff in ages).
