Updates On The Caldera IPO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

kerskine writes,"It seems that there's strong demand for Caldera's upcoming IPO CNET reported that they've raised their strike price to $10-$12. This news is in sharp contrast to more negative appraisals such as this article from Forbes.com." I only know of a small number of Linux Developers who got "The Letter" from Caldera on their IPO. Gotta wonder about that.

    Why do you 'wonder' about that? I thought that originally getting into Linux wasn't about cashing in at some later date, but rather producing something for free. Redhat opened a real can of worms with it's little 'letter' campaign, and it really brought out the greed in people (the common mantra being "I work on package X...why didn't I get a 'letter'?").

    Since you didn't get 'the letter', what then? No one is obligated to get free stock...since when did the free software movement turn to greed?
