Why GNOME has garnerred the corporate support it has is a mystery to me.
I think it's something to do with the fact that a lot of GNOME is LGPL now, so it's easier to tie proprietary stuff to it. I find this amusingly ironic, seeing that de Icaza started GNOME because the then-Qt license wasn't "free" enough ....
And SuSE 10.1 did not want to supply any kernel-tainting stuff anymore. What else then tainting is putting non-OSS stuff into (L)GPL code? If one does not want to have non-OSS bits in an OSS environment, then LGPL is not really what one wants to supply, as it encourages to use non-OSS bits. Sven
