You no doubt consider "profit" to be revenue - cost. But cost isn't just the bills you pay, it's also the opportunity cost -- what else that time and money could have done. If your closed source consultants are generating $10,000 per year in profit and your open source consultants are generating $100,000 per year in profit, then the economic profit on an open source consultant is -90,000 per year.
Maybe they don't want a janitor deciding they don't have enough citations and deleting shit. Maybe they don't want a janitor deciding it's not important and having their articles deleted. Maybe they want a repository of useful information and not get caught in a wikipedia turf war.
Linux isn't good for them either. The joo-joo (remember that?) linux flash player is shit and can't deal with full screen video. Adobe has distanced themselves and recommend vaporware tablets running windows 7.
open has, and continues to have, other (well established) meanings before the "open source" crowd. Much like "free" has, and continues to have, other (well established) meanings before the "FREE software" crowd.
Personally, I have no interest in compiling, modifying, or distributing my own version of QNX (or 99% of other things), but I do find it educational to look at the code. (And I do remember peeking at some of their code when they first allowed access).
The sugar industry had something to do with the problem. Specifically, pushing for import quotas in the early 80s that increased the price. As a result, manufacturers switched to corn syrup and the candy industry moved to Canada and Mexico. The jobs lost from the candy industry most likely outnumber the jobs saved by the import quotas.
It's like comparing a dude's asshole to a girl's asshole. look the same, feel the same, smell the same, work the same. But if you start sucking on the dude's asshole, you're a faggot.
One is the concept (and posix interface). I can't think of a single OS from the past 20 years (except classic MacOS and some RT stuff) that isn't heavily influenced by unix/posix here (Windows NT has/had a posix layer). This doesn't do jack shit for novell.
One is trademarked term and certification from The Open Group. OS X, AIX, and Solaris are the only 03 Unix certified OSes, AFAICT. This doesn't do jack shit for novell.
One is the legacy pile of code that novell owns and licenses. Nobody cares about it and it's not worth $4 billion. Oracle will continue to sell Solaris and IBM will continue to sell AIX but that doesn't do jack shit for novell aside from some minor license revenue.

the ipad/iphone simulator runs x86 code.
why did apple waste their time porting iWorks?
s/run fine/look like ass/
void myfunction(void){ printf("bull shit\n"); }

((void *)NULL) = myfunction;
int *ip = NULL;
int i = *ip;
joojoo much?
last time i checked, iceweasel used a different name and icons.
considering the firefox name and logo are copyrighted and not licensed under the GPL, you can't redistribute a customized version of firefox anyhow.
I've been putting off buying TAOE since the 3rd edition is allegedly right around the corner (and has been for 7 years or so).
probably because it would be fucking slow.
It doesn't cross compile to objective c, it uses llvm to compile actionscript to arm assembly.

Actual graphics work is done with QuartzCore, CoreGraphics, etc which are straight C.

Good question! Regulated capitalism (in the forms of import quotas on sugar and subsidies on corn) are why HCF is used instead of sugar.
That's what happens when you hire the writers for Friends....
you can't get pregnant if you do it in the butt.

Dave Matthews. Charlize Theron.
With .net it should be trivial. Seems more like an education/cultural problem than a technical one.
