Linux, like so many commons, has just becomes a part of everything. The economic value of it is so staggering that you would not and possibly could not pay out it's true economic impact. Thankfully we don't pay what the value of things to us, we hope to pay a bit less than that.
As of March this year, Red Hat developers have contributed 11.9% of the code in the Linux kernel with 10.7% of the code since 2.6.36. Red Hat is the most significant contributor of code to the Linux kernel in the world. IBM is number two at around 7.5%. This is just kernel code. It doesn't include other code and tools like RPM and Anaconda.
Seen in that light, a $500 per annum Red Hat support contract is a bargain. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
