Citation? At work, we support companies running Linux on servers and, in a few cases, desktops too. Only one of those companies has developed any Linux code themselves. I don't doubt that there are companies that have developed code for internal use (which they are not obligated to make available to others), but I suspect that they are a minority of the businesses using Linux.

Probably the same multinational that we were asked to sign an agreement that all code would be exclusively licensed to the company in question. I was unable to convince their lawyer that, even if we wanted to, we were unable to do that. -- "You can have everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want" - Zig Ziglar.
