I have a vivid memory of my mother yelling from the upstairs, "What are you doing!?!"
"Nothing..."
I was dancing around holding a box fan and herding a big green cloud of chlorine gas I had just liberated from pool chemicals out one of those narrow rectangular windows.
I didn't think it would make so much.
"And they get to milk developers who work for free!"
That is what this Linux/IBM thing is all about...I have personal experience with IBM management types and they were exceedingly sneaky IRL so I can't see why that wouldn't extend to the work-world...or even more so.

You must be referring to the makers of NT et al; Linux was deliberately made to look like and work like UNIX because the writers did know it so well.
