| McPherson also notes that “it’s difficult for most people to get their minds 
| around competitive mass collaboration.” Indeed, this is what the freedom 
| afforded by Linux is all about. People (and companies) contribute not for 
| humanitarian reasons, but because they expect a benefit. Work together to 
| create the best platform, openly usable by everyone, and if it still doesn’t 
| meet your needs perfectly, you are free to change it accordingly. Everyone 
| wins. No compromises.

Linux Will Be Worth $1 Billion In First 100 Days of 2009

,----[ Quote ]
| The kernel development process is adding 2,000 lines of code a day or roughly 
| another 160,000 by the end of 2007. By the end of 2008, it will have added 
| another 730,000. So the kernel will have close to 6.4 millions lines of code, 
| using Wheeler's methodology, at the end of next year. Sometime during the 
| first 100 days of 2009, Linux will cross the 6.6 million lines of code mark 
| and $1 billion in value.
