U.S. Department of Commerce using Drupal

,----[ Quote ]
| The United States Department of Commerce just 
| relaunched their website on Drupal. Check out 
| their new website at http://commerce.gov.
| 
| According to Wikipedia, the Department of 
| Commerce has more than 140,000 employees, and 
| an annual budget of $14 billion USD. Needless 
| to say this is another great win for Drupal, 
| and for Open Source in government!

Drupal founder, Dries Buytaert, on passion, believing, and the open source way

,----[ Quote ]
| We estimate that there are 500,000 sites
| built with Drupal. There are thousands of
| people making money with Drupal.   I never
| expected this to happen, and I feel that I
| have a very unique situation as the leader
| of the Drupal project. Certainly, my life
| is different from that of many of my
| friends.

Why Making Money from Free Software Matters

,----[ Quote ]
| Free software began as a political
| movement: its central aim was â and remains
| â the propagation of freedom.  Later, it
| became a development methodology too,
| largely at the hands of Linus, whose
| geographical isolation in Finland forced
| him to develop ways of using the Internet
| to coordinate a new kind of massive, but
| decentralised, global collaboration.  Later
| still, free software also became a way of
| making serious money â something that
| Stallman has repeatedly said he is quite
| happy with, contrary to much FUD claiming
| otherwise.
