| "The [free] WebSphere Community Edition conforms to the Apache Geronimo
| standard, and we download more than 20,000 copies a week -- a week! The

| happy to get a copy and do what they do, and they don't have to tell us
| what they are doing."

| The fact remains that there's exactly one major open source company that
| is willing to stand up to Microsoft (two, if you count IBM), and that's
| Red Hat. We should be supporting Red Hat, because the open source
| industry's success depends on Red Hat's success.
