No, Mandrake doesn't get any money from Macmillan making changes to their base
distribution and reselling it, just like RedHat doesn't get any money from
Mandrake for doing the same thing. ;)
Usually when you pay for the more expensive version of a distribution, what
you're usually paying for is the tech support and some extra goodies (like a
couple commercial programs or extra CD's with extra software etc.).
