Unilever Joins OSDL

[Posted July 24, 2003 by cook]

The consumer products company Unilever has joined the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL). ""Unilever is a significant addition to OSDL's membership and is the first of many Global 2000 corporations that we expect will be joining us to contribute in improving Linux," said Stuart Cohen, CEO of OSDL. "We have expanded our charter to increase our participation in the Linux development community and with IT vendors, and with Unilever to begin investing in more programs for corporations to help ensure that Linux meets their requirements and solves their real-world business problems."" Thanks to Craig Oda.

Not only that, but according to this, they own Unox. Notice the Penguin in the upper right? Ah yes. It all makes sense now.
