I talked to #gentoo-dev tonight about this. I can't say I am particularly pleased or satisfied with the results. Gentoo has a couple hundred people working on it, but Gentoo Technologies, Inc. is wholly owned by Dan Robbins. Wholly owned, as in, it's a for-profit corporation. It's not making any money, but there are plans for it to be at some point. Did I mention that he's the only employee? There has been talk about making Gentoo Technologies, Inc. a non-profit, but Dan Robbins tonight carefully avoided saying he was interested in that kind of thing. In fact, what he did say indicated that it shouldn't be a big deal given that it's not really that much money anyway. However, all of Gentoo's code is owned by a company with exactly one employee and owner. Given the vague and non-committal aspect of the conversation, I have my concerns. - -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small package. <acf> knghtbrd: evidence exists that X is only the *2nd* worst windowing system ;) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: 1024D/20F62261F1857A3E79FC44F98FF7D7A3DCF9DAB3 iEYEARECAAYFAj76sG0ACgkQj/fXo9z52rMB7gCgn0QoCYtxGOQNLG+8N6QisMSB jq0An1NTwRY+pdWjl3uLuOdcXkg0XOBv =Irfp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
