Eventually, such Linux users will be a small percentage. Kylix will not sell
to such users, and neither will the apps Kylix makes. There are other
problems with Open source, for example : GPL requires you to source out all
the source code, including for libraries that are linked with your
application, and you can't legally redistribute the Kylix CLX source code.
(The current Delphi based GPL sources are pseudo-open source, because you
can't compile the source without a commercial product :) )

No. If Borland can sell you Kylix without giving you the source code to
Kylix, you can sell your app to someone else without giving them the source.
