Or is it nearly entirely > based upon the open source community? Not sure what you mean. Does the community make updated rpm packages for Mandrake? No. Are patches and whatnot available to the open source community at large? Sure is.

There is nothing binding you to using mandrake updates if you really don't want to. > Now that I know that free updates are possible from a > license stand point, I'd hate to find out they aren't > feasible with the "new" company model...
