Get your facts straight - this is total hogwash!
I said that a "secretive" company hired Linus, not funded him to develop
LINUX. One condition of being hired was that he reserved the right to develop
LINUX further. *IF* he is rich (rich is a relative term, as you must realise),
it was not a direct result of his LINUX work. How on earth did Linus get paid
for LINUX, a free open-source language?

No, when the time comes, if you want to support REBOL, buy Command or whatever
else you need of it. It will be that simple.
