Its short and sweet - take making money seriously.
I love open source and I am a contributor to it. I also notice that I'm not stupid enough to make a company with Mandrake's sort of scheme. Redhat did and is doing 'ok' - thats great - they did something I probably would not have. But if they ever needed money I would have to refuse and tell them to get real jobs:) Am I happy that Linux is getting more mature all the time as a desktop OS? Nope. Seems like reinventing the wheel on the grand scheme of things. As a server platform? Sure! The kernel, emacs, DNS and a limited set of others are the only things worth a puke about opensource - the rest is garbage.
I cannot believe how many people are willing to send their money which they probably earned in _real life jobs_ to a company which is really built on a dream - to sit cozy and capitalize on something that is free. Ultimately all companies do this, so I ask you - what makes this company different?
