Re:Why none of these models apply (Score 1)

Though your point is very valid, it's not software that I'm arguing about. I"m arguing that the community could splinter, fall apart, or become engaged their own desires, ignoring what happens to the community. Granted, right now we are held together and willing to help each other with every patch and driver. What happens when greed takes over. Will someone stop the help and charge for it. Will we see more and more custom linux versions that are not covered by the GPL? My arguement is that we are a society. Like all societies, we have needs and wants. Now agreed software is infinite, but what goes into the kernal and what direction linux goes it is not. Decisions are made(i.e. support this, drop that, update this, lose that...). In any case, will greed oust the way linux is developed, by all?
