Support fees and training courses, I'd guess. Note that this is only to be described as profiteering or monopolistic when Microsoft does it. When Redhat relies on support fees and training courses it's a viable business strategem.

They're the only things that will survive a nuclear war, right? So why not build bomb shelters out of them?
Secondly, given that anything buttered always lands butter side down, has anyone considered buttering a kitten's back? Caught between the duel imperatives of landing on it's feet and landing on the butter, it would rotate endlessly in the air. Stick on some magnets and voila, instant free energy
Is this the same Nextel who once showed a fine grasp of taste by running an ad campaign called "The Final Solution" featuring a Hitler impersonator promising to "exterminate all dues"?
According to CNet, the different networks could bring expensive problems, but that could be overcome by the diversity of the company's clients.
This sentence should read: "According to CNet, the different networks could bring expensive problems, but that could be overcome by making the customers pay through the nose"
And it was pure, unmitigated crap. What's wrong with steampunk Victorians fighting off a Martian invasion? It's not like Hollywood has any regard for science anyway.

Isn't calling it that breaking various trades descriptions laws?

NASA are claiming it was $200k. It'd be nice to see how much of that was spent on fixing the security holes he uncovered.
The ISP just needs to give their bank details to a nice man from Nigeria who'll handle all the financial work
I mean, "Greetings, I am the son of the former Nigerian dictator" isn't advertising or promotional, is it?
Making the worst students ritually disembowel themselves could be a powerful motivational aid
