The GNU GPL says that you can modify the source, thereby fixing
your problem. The fixed, made-better software can be
re-distributed. Maybe you should pay the upstream author of
this GPLed software to give you a special life-time warranty. ;-)
Let me ask you a pointed query. What warranty does the firm from
Redmond give you when you call them up and say that you have a
hard-lockup (BSD) ? Reboot the machine, sir...
The GPL gives you an option to fix the problem or hire someone
who can do this for you for a fee.
