mr. ernest you are right when you say linus gets to

use for their kernel work .
Since 2002, Linux creator, Linus Torvalds, and
thousands of Linux programmers have enjoyed free use
of a development tool called BitKeeper. But as of
July, BitKeeper's creator, Larry McVoy, will stop
providing free software and support to the Linux
effort.
well, we all know Linux is opensource, but surely, some folk make zillions of money out of it. This
includes Novell, RedHat, Xandros, Mandriva/rake, etc.. cant these guys colelctively pay 500,000 $ pa
to bitkeeper???
