I will be interested to see how much he helps out when the going gets tough. Just think of what any one of us could do with even 1/10th of that money. For me, it would be enough to quit my job and write OSS the rest of my life.

So...is he greedy? We'll know soon enough, I guess...

We already know. That whole team is getting filthy rich off OSS - what's not to love. Sell the products that the OSS community is building, pay them nothing, take all the credit and the revenue. I should've thought of that.

We tried switching off RedHat to Debian. All our ISV's told us to pound sand. We are stuck, folks, RedHat's the only distro for which major ISV's are qualifying their apps... and my management just mandated it as the only OS allowed in our datacenter.
