i was just wondering after reading all these diddfrent articles about these companies making money off of the open source movement... doesnt linus have the final say on the linux kernel? cant he say hey you cant do it? i know that different people around the world help develope it and fix problems and such also but someone needs to put there foot down and say hey this is the peoples not the corporatioins ya know ... because sooner or later the companies are gonna take it over, cause the old saying whoever has the gold makes the rules..that is very true. look at it this way if a company really wants to they can make a payoff to someone weather it be a judge, congressman...ect and then from there, do whatever they want to , look at the DeCSS situation and what the motion picture industry did to that kid from norway...arrested him cause he wanted to play dvd on his linux box....they should have arrested the people from xing for having the flaws in their program...oh well im just thinking out loud ignore this message if ya want...i dont wanna start any wars or anything... later.. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
