     It would be nice for you to be more specific.  To my knowledge, GNU
 software is alive and kicking (very vigorously!).  The only thing I can
 think you're talking about might be commercial distribution of GNU
 software/systems, but there is nothing wrong with that (quite the
 opposite! - I like it when people make a living with free software).
