MandrakeSoft Publishes Support Policy

joestar writes "MandrakeSoft has posted a statement about its product support policy on its website: 'At a time when some of the established Linux companies are turning away from their Open Source roots and progressively abandoning full-time commitment to Open Source Software, many people have asked MandrakeSoft to clarify its position regarding product-lifetimes and its Open Source development model.' As a result, this interesting reading provides 8 Golden Rules that lead Mandrake Linux development and product support lifetime. This certainly makes MandrakeSoft one of the most 'Open Source' Linux companies, and all Linux companies should maybe think about releasing such a statement."

Oh come on, Mods. Flamebait? Have you used Mandrake? This is true. I love Mandrake. I would love to give them my money. But I can't in good concience when every release is more and more bug-riddled. And often the releases are pushed out with the same ISOs that a couple days before were release candidates.
