A very cogent question embedded in a very cogent response (thanks,
Chris).
There is a thriving entrepreneurial culture within the Linux world --
companies like Red Hat, Caldera, SUSE, and others are thriving (if
small) enterprises that function very well in the open source free
software world. So far, no entrepreneur has grabbed the commercial reins
of the Java/Linux effort -- it's still entirely a spare-time effort by
some fanatically devoted people. That'll change, I hope (if only I could
remember where I filed that business plan :-) -- but it won't come from
Sun and it probably won't happen this week.
