So RedHat's customers subsidise Ubuntu -- how is this a bad thing?So RedHat's customers subsidise Ubuntu -- how is this a bad thing?Posted Feb 19, 2010 1:57 UTC (Fri) by xoddam (subscriber, #2322)In reply to: Who wrote 2.6.33 by DYN_DaTa Parent article: Who wrote 2.6.33
I have no problem with Canonical funding and promoting a nice free desktop OS from off-the-shelf free parts other people have developed, rather than directly funding those parts.
I use Ubuntu on the desktop and CentOS on the server, mostly. But my economic activity (via my employer and hosting providers) pays real money to RedHat, whereas I never gave a penny to Canonical or the tiny-but-heroic CentOS team.
Free software is an ecosystem, not a mere labour exchange.
