You probably didn't notice but the whole thing about linux and this "open source" everyone is talking about, is about contributing back and community. Not about buying and shutting down stuff. Guess what Oracle is known for and what RedHat is known for. Both make money.
- gaius 14y agoHaha yeah, call me when your landlord lets you off the rent, because a website he uses runs Linux on the server. Community, right?
- buster 14y agoYou still have a long way to go to learn proper trolling on the internet, my friend
- gaius 14y agoYou seem to be saying that the Ksplice guys don't deserve to get paid for their hard work, because "community, maaann". Which is an odd sentiment for a site based around startup companies, but ho hum. If they had been acquired by Google would that be any better?
- chris_wot 14y agoNon sequitur my friend. Just because someone contributes to Linux projects, doesn't mean they are a. Not making money for their services, while contributing back to the community he uses to gain his income, or b. he has a job (related or otherwise) that provides him with an independent income.
