| But even before this deal, Xandros had never been a community player
| (it has failed to release a single piece of its own software under a
| free licence) and the only raison d'être of this Canadian company was
| to profit from free software. And while its first two releases of
| Xandros Desktop brought some interesting advancements into desktop
| Linux, the company later abandoned its innovative spirit and
| desktop enthusiasm to focus on business Linux instead. Disappointing,
| to say the least, from a company that held so much promise in its
| early days....

| mega-corporations.

| Incredibly, a patent cross-licensing deal was signed without
| once discussing patents. Now how could anyone imagine that
| people would talk about patents when they were signing
| such a deal? Silly me!
