Eh .. while Debian is non profit Canonical most definitely is not. While they reinvest a ton of their profits back into Ubuntu, as far as I know they’re still in it to make money.
- magpi3 8y agoDebian is a non-profit, but it is also a volunteer run organization and many of those volunteers work at companies (Ubuntu being one of them) that are for profit and depend on the development of Linux for that profit.
- tormeh 8y agoKind of. I think Canonical is losing money on purpose, because Shuttleworth really likes the desktop Linux dream.
- Operyl 8y agoThey ended up turning a profit year after they dropped Unity and the team involved, I believe. But otherwise, Shuttleworth definitely does reinvest most of the profits.
