During last Saturday's Linux seminar at APC, Randy said
that one of the features of Linux is

FREEDOM FROM LICENSING!

I believe that whhat Randy meant is that when you use
Linux you get "free licensing" or "freedom from expensive
licensing".

Linux is copyrighted by Linus Torvalds and is distributed
under the licensing terms of the GPL (General Public Liicense).
So it is not free from licensing. There is a very strict
license that covers its use or, rather, freedom of use.
See /usr/src/linux/COPYING for the text of the GPL.
