[Lug-Nuts] phantom poster, what's you favorite gnu app

This is directed to the phantom poster, gnulinux (aka "Linux Rocks"). I
am curious about this whole gnu thing. What's some good gnu software? I
keep seeing this whole copyleft thing, and I am wondering if there is
really any good software written under this type of license. I keep
hearing it's supposed to be free too.

Does that mean if I write software and release it under the terms of the
General Public License (GPL) that I have to give it away for free? gnu
sounds almost communist like. How about this guy Richard Stallman? Are
you him? He seems somewhat like a fanatic. I keep hearing about gnu,
but the more I research do, the crazier gnu sounds?

gnulinux, fill me in!
