Commentary: the Linux Foundation and the future of Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| I came away from the second annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit with
| mixed feelings. I mean, it's hard not to support the group that pays Linus
| Torvalds to spend his time continuing to lead the poster-boy project for free
| and open source software. But at the same time, those golden chains are my
| biggest concern about the Linux Foundation.
|
| IBM sponsored the event, and they are the biggest supporter of Linux in the
| corporate world. The foundation membership is made up of almost all the large
| and and many of wanna-be-large IT firms around the globe -- including Adobe,
| which is one of the foundation's newest members.

better than having an operating system that nobody owns?"
