>So maybe that's the solution? Convince billionaires that open source software is a philanthropic endeavor? Is it, though? This isn't the attitude we have towards things like USB-IF or the Unicode Consortium, both of which are non-profits that were started by for-profit companies trying to solve a technical challenge for their own, joint benefit. Hardware and software companies need a working operating system to be able to make money.
