Redhat, Novell, Canonical (Ubuntu) just to name a few. No to mention all those businesses that thrive on providing OSS based solutions with their proprietary apps mixed in. And talking about VA Software (previously VA Linux) going down under, they have recently announced a profitable quarter (disclaimer: business terms make me dizzy so if there's any fine print there that says otherwise then please let me know) http://www.vasoftware.com/news/press.php/2006/1560.html Their major sources of income probably are Slashdot and sourceforge.
