I want to use Linux in a commercial product. It's a security product and some of our clients require that the source code be available and that all code can be maintained using a source configuration mangement system. All files must be compilable from the SCM using set procedures. These requirements are part of an evaluation specification that we must conform to. I guess one could argue that the procedures would be to compile on a powerpc machine and transfer the binaries. At this stage it is not an option but I will be getting a G4 server in January so life might be easier. I'd still prefer to be able to compile all the source for our product.
