Story: Linux: The forking fight-back

At least the licence isn't likely to fork.Once GPLed you are in control of your software. If you go the Microsoft way you can never be sure what licence you end up with. All of a sudden, you download some more or less necessary service pack, and the licence of your entire installation changes.

Now, so far the licence changes applied with service packs have been quite harmless, but the fact that they do change it is worrying.

Would you buy a car, where you all of a sudden find that after your first service, the passenger seats have been removed and you have to buy specil passenger licences to have them added back. I think not.
