That's right.  In the former case, a comercial entity gains advantage
at the expense of the USENET community.  In the latter, everyone
benefits and no profits are made at the expense of others.

Yes, their are restrictions on what you can do with *their*
code--you're free to do whatever you want with your own code--but
isn't that only fair?  And there is absolutely no reason why one would
need to include a modified bash in their product, so the fear of it
causing you to give your precious code away is baseless.
