,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation has just released a new report on who writes Linux

| Linux.

| The report reveals how it is coding the changes in the kernel and what
| companies are sponsoring the programmers who are making the changes - if any.
| And what is immediately clear is that Linux is much bigger than its namesake
