Cornerstones Laid for the Linux Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| No foundation can have everyone represented, and no board can have
| every key person or industry player. But Red Hat's absence is
| peculiar, given that it sells more Linux services than any other
| distro combined. Similarly, Dell, which has a sizeable Linux server
| business, has not thrown its weight behind the Linux Foundation yet,
| but now that it is beginning to sell Linux-based PCs, there is a
| chance that the company will become more active on the Linux front
| in an effort to restore its fortunes.

Free software philosophy in business - Are they compatible?
,----[ Quote ]
| Many free software proponents find it difficult to explain to
| businesses how a distributor of free software can make a profit.
| The first step is to ensure they understand that this is free as
| in freedom, not free as in gratis.
