The "GNU/Linux" term has relatively little currency outside Debian. It never has been "GNU/Linux" to more than a few people. I doubt you see it much except self-consciously or in the phrase "Debian GNU/Linux" (which gets butchered as "Debian/GNU Linux" half the time anyway...) In any event, my personal opinion is that Corel has the right to decide who to sell or give their software to, and who not to. They may have phrased it badly, but that's what their intent is. In any event, that decision disproves your assertion that all Corel cares about is money, since obviously they'd make more money if they were selling to minors. Under the GPL, they are only obligated not to make the "you can't sell to minors" restriction viral. It also seems we're venturing into debian-project territory here....
