Hope this isn't OT.
A colleague of mine who is a Microsoft enthusiast has the impression
that Linux and/or Linus is "supported by grants". His reason for
thinking this is that "they have to give you the source". Well, I tried
to explain that it is the GNU license that levies that requirement. To
the best of my knowledge, all of the Linux kernel development is
gratis. Of course, there's a lot of Linux outside the kernel. I
certainly don't think there's anything wrong with Linux and/or Linus
receiving grants, but it now occurs to me to be curious. Anyone know?
Thanks
Chris
