How about, relating to a douche bag. See http://www.4woman.gov/faq/douching.htm for some more information. I didn't pay attention in high school much either but still...

Don't tell Red Hat, SuSE, or Sun.

I think he means don't have a go at Red Hat, SuSE, or Sun, for incorporating GPL code into their proprietary software. Of course it's perfectly legal to do so, as long as they declare it by, releasing the source code along with any modifications for the GPL code. They obviously don't have to release any of their code if they don't want to.

Nope.
