3D graphics card... X-
Windows crashes when I resize windows for any app, with
every distro and version of GNOME and KDE I've used on it -

think that the Business Software Alliance recommends freely or openly licensed alternatives?

according to Freshmeat their relational database, InterBase, is licensed with the Mozilla Public License - but now Borland has their own very lengthy license detailing commercial use, intellectual property, etc.
intellectual property does NOT exist - there is no such thing, it's a misnomer... even Thomas Jefferson understood that you can't own an idea, and he "owned" people. it's not truly possible to own anything, but at least it's a semi-applicable paradigm when considering physical items. land, I think, will be one of the first major physical goods to go from being "owned" to being a responsibility which if not lived up to can be revoked by ones peers - that is if our current attempt at societal consciousness works... otherwise it's back to the dark ages, and local societies will continue to operate under their own theories of ownership.
observation: current ratings favor software development, rather than free software advocacy, with a bit of our everyone-knows-that-meme culture thrown in for extra bitterness.
