On another note, it would seem that every single major player, save for Red Hat, has decided that they can build a business on libre software but by adding value to it, and keeping that value commercial/proprietary.
Partially. The stuff that's interesting to businesses remains commercial, but IBM and Novell are known sponsors of a *lot* of libre software development.
Up until recently you couldn't download SuSE isos (I don't know if the ones you can get now are up to date and the same as the ones they sell), and all the Netware stuff on Linux won't be free.
Yeah, and once they were taken over by Novell whose business model is more solid than selling CDs to end users it was opened up. Regards, -- Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
