Hopefully linux doesn't die a slow death due to its success. I am reminded of the saying: "the operation was a success (removal of non-gpl code) but the patient died (linux)".
My take is different: "...the patient *almost* died, but it was the only way to survive at all". In these days of suing the pants off anyone who even resembles coming close to some odd patent that is hiding somewhere, I think the only way to make Linux' survival safe is to avoid all that non-open crap. Does this mean you won't be burning any DVDs on that Linux system of yours?
