+1. While there is probably a stronger business-oriented-standards (POSIX/SUS/etc.) contingent here; and a stronger FSF-oriented contingent there, I think it's definitely fair to say the goals are pretty much the same thing. And IMO, that's mainly because -- contrary to conventional wisdom -- the large majority of both communities are UNIX/Linux realists not religious extremists.
