The majority of this money raised will probably go to the marketing of redhat. While it has been getting a lot of press, I rarely see it anywhere in a mainstream magazine. Don't be surprised soon if you open up your newsweek and there is an article for redhat.
I personally think all this is great. I doubt redhat though will make a 20 mil contribution to research though. They'll probably make a sizeable contribution, but not that much. Would you, when there are so many people out there doing redhat research? If I'm wrong and they do put in a lot of money it may go to new software that they CAN sell.
