I don't know how to view that as anything other than sacrificing the spirit of F/OSS to help the books. I am sympathetic to the odd/difficult nature of running a business based on F/OSS. Until now I thought Red Hat was doing it pretty well. I thought Jeff's message was well written. I am still struggling with whether I should take the same path. :( -- Todd
