... which actually doesn't make much sense. A "linux monopoly" as such cannot
exist by definition. A monopoly is when something is and can be sold by
a single entity only - which is rather unlikely to happen with linux.
A linux _monopoly_ probably wouldn't be any better - basically the whole
point why a linux _monoculture_ probably would be better is the fact that
it can't be turned into a monopoly easily (if at all) ...
