I disagree. Igor created DilOS because he wanted Debian-based packages. Peter created Tribblix because he wanted to work on a minimalist distro at his own pace. Jörg created Schillix because he preferred SVR4 pkgs. Alexander E built v9os because he wanted an OmniOS for SPARC. And the list goes on... This has nothing to do with corporate policies of big organizations. If someone is willing to give gis time and work, then he gets to decide what he spends it on.
