That's a good point. Most OpenSource developers are not rolling in the dough. Any serious backing is only going to improve their ability to produce better distributions, applications and systemware. I can't help but prematurely smile over all of this. My inner sense tells me that SCO's bluff has already backfired, and as a result is now strengthening the very infrastructure that they had hoped to leech off of and control. Big business is a dangerous game to play. I would not want to be SCO's elite right now. I can smell the sweat from here. T
