I doubt many of these "make good money". We're almost breaking even, which is probably the best among these. Note also that some companies contribute engineering resources into core free software components, like gcc, gdb, the linux kernel, glibc, gnome, gtk+, rpm, apache, XFree, KDE - AFAIK, Red Hat and SuSE are by far the two doing this the most. -- Trond Eivind Glomsrød Red Hat, Inc.
