Why should anyone care about software protection at all then?

The reason is because as I stated, the GPL requires you follow specific 
guidelines in the use and publishing of the sources. This may or may not 
be a reason for Xorg to use it or not, that is not up to me to decide.

I merely suggest Xorg consider their license useage closely.

As for debating ms/linux, it was only used as an example, no reason to 
dwell on it.
