To All Interested: New whitepaper by the Linux Foundation based on an analysis of what it would cost to develop Fedora 9: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/publications/estimatinglinux.php "In 2002, David A. Wheeler published a well-regarded study that examined the Software Lines of Code present in a typical Linux distribution. His findings? The total development cost represented in a typical Linux distribution was $1.2 billion. We've used his tools and method to update these findings. Using the same tools, we estimate that it would take approximately $10.8 billion to build the Fedora 9 distribution in today's dollars, with today's software development costs."
