,----[ Quote ]
| IBM has 1,000 programmers who work on open-source projects full-time. Much of
| the IBM Lotus suite of collaboration software is based on Linux, says Inna
| Kuznetsova, IBM's director of Linux strategy.

| "Open source allows you to get certain technologies developed in a cheaper
| and faster manner," she said. "Open standards can benefit all companies and
| developers."

NEWS: Linux Developers Make A Living

| 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.
