Exactly.

There are some other companies like Coverity, Krugle, OpenLogic, and Black
Duck which thrive in some "Open Source" association and connotation, but
they don't actually give much. Google has SoC and it ported a few
applications to Linux. It is capable of much more however. And it's an
obligation (a moral one at least).
