You said that Debian is free for all the people, therefore does that mean > you have no prices for Debian softwares? Yep. Download freely & free. Burn your own CD. Buy CDs from those who provide that service. However you want to do it, but Debian, per se, doesn't sell software. > 3. Who are your partners? The members of Debian (a.k.a Developers). Software in the Public Interest. Have you included http://www.debian.org/ in your research? Have you seen the link anchored on "Partners"? It'll take you to http://www.debian.org/partners/ . On that you'll see honorable mentions of donors of equipment and services. > 4. Who are your major clients? Every one of Debian's "clients" are as important as all the rest. The bug reports of each one is as respected as the next: judged on content only. Since Debian is not giving any special deals to any recipient of the distribution, nor for that matter, getting any money from any such recipient as a precondition of receiving software, Debian has no "clients" in the typical usage. > 5. Who are the supporters of your major products? The members of Debian (a.k.a Developers). See http://www.debian.org/devel/ The upstream developers (Debian packages the software of others). For that, you'll have to see the individual packages. > Thank you very much for taking time in reading and answering my email... I > really > appreciate this...

You'll get better answers there.
