[Fsf-friends] Novel, Suse, Ximian...

[Rakesh Ambati]

hi,

 mixed blessing I doubt.
  
  what we are seeing is the old age proprietory
corparations trying to surive.Corparations do __need__
to make a few bucks.

Open Source or Properietory,the bottom line is  how
much profit you are making.Red Hat is not! 

So a big player comes around the corner with a user
based now looking for open source and guess what
happens next .....



cheers
