Comment the Linux lie... (Score 1) 528

When I think about OS/3, oops I mean Linux, I find myself wondering just how all the people who support the free software movement are making their living. From 9-5, Mon-Fri, they earn their livings from proprietary software companies, then on the weekend, oooh, they fool with some open source code. It's nice that they have a hobby but let's not pretend this is sustainable. Without IBM's support Linux would be dying. They're supporting it because they want to sell cutomers endlessly rising amounts of services getting it all to keep running. So if you support the free software movement, but get a paycheck writing proprietary code or billing endlessly for services getting the free stuff to run, take a hard look inside...Looking forward to the replies, no I don't work for M$, I just know a monopoly when I see it and (as the feds decided decades ago) it is Big Blue. Don't be their tool!
