Where UnitedLinux Got It Wrong

An Anonymous Coward writes "A story on NewsForge [ed. note: part of the keiretsu] suggests that the lack of binaries for UnitedLinux shows disrespect to the community which created most of the software. The author suggests a better way for handling the business problems that a lack of binaries is supposed to solve. Some particularly clueless reader comments say that UnitedLinux has no responsibility to cooperate with the community. The thought that UnitedLinux won't even offer a development distribution to the community does not sit well with me."

I have said this before on slashdot (and got moderated down for it) but this post says it much better then I have in the past.

Capitalism and ethics (or morality) are mutually exclusive concepts. Capitalism is about making money morality is about making better human beings.
