Lindows does suck, and point 4 is BS, but charging for Lindows is legal because the GPL only requires giving the source code away for free to anyone who has binaries and requests the source.

Have you actually tried the product yet... because if you haven't then you are in no position to make any judgement... are you?

I've tried it and found that you may as well just install windoze instead. Better still, install a proper distro. Why try to emulate something that you are trying to get away from?
