It's not as if companies matter to Linux's continued improvement, anyway.
Developers matter, but there'll still be developers around if every
company sponsoring Linux development stopped tomorrow. Development might
slow for a while (until some of those devs got enough cash together to be
able to go back to full-time hacking) but it wouldn't stop.

We don't need the corporations. They need *us*. Most of those corporations
have long realized that, generally because they're mostly composed of
developers. The companies to worry about are the ones with pure
businesspeople at the top and no devs in sight :/
