I just saw a comment on blfs-support@ referencing "the *corporate*
nature of Linux now (Thanks Novell, Red Hat, Microsoft (they have a
huge part now), and Debian)."
I'd appreciate if anyone would be willing to share a link or two
where I could read more about this. It's very concerning to me to
contemplate that microsoft might have a significant involvement in
Linux (and yes, I have been living in a cave). Embrace, extend,
extinguish? Free bsd? Other choice?
Thanks.
