Marketing, etc.) Like newspapers, broadcast television and colleges/universities, this is not where SuSE makes its money.
Wrong :) SuSE does make a substantial amount of money from selling the boxes.
and apparently by being a part of IBM's R&D division.
Where did you get that idea from? It's nowhere near reality!
but I don't think that SuSE is going to go out of business just because I miss paying for a release or two.
No, not because of you alone :) But if enough people think like this ..... Don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming anyone for taking an out time from updates. If I wouldn't get a copy for free, I most probably wouldn't buy every new version.
