    Why do companies need to pay to be registered as compliant?

    Because it therefore keeps out crap like Gentoo, Debian, and Slackware.

    As since they have no financial backing, they are obvoulsy not worthy of lsb certification.

    You have that the wrong way around -- since Slackware and Debian are not on the list, I have a hard time taking them seriously.
