140379 2003-04-30 17:10:00 What "bloody company man!!" There isn't one as such. Linux is a set of systems built by open source development. The only companys are the distributers of it's various flavours (distributions) such as Redhat, SuSE, Mandrake etc. Perhaps one of them has changed hands? Perhaps you know something i don't?

140381 2003-04-30 20:31:00 Nobody has sold Linux - check Linux.com or Linux.org. Neither of those sites say anything about Linux being sold. Where did you hear it had been sold???

140382 2003-04-30 22:21:00 He he, Linux is open source and GPL, it can't be sold/brought out, thats why M$ hates it :D nz_liam (845)
140383 2003-04-30 23:14:00 Red Hat is moving to a subscription model, which may involve users in a small extra expenditure to keep their OS up-to-date.
This may be what the original poster is referring to.

140385 2003-05-02 03:17:00 wow that strong words from a user with only 3 posts.....


not like I am trying to start a flame war but:

if you post then be clear as to what you mean, where you got your info

words like you have use are not required to get your point accross (which you dident)

In three postings you make two refrances to weed / being stoned and again i would say that this is not required in this forum.


and as allready pointed out linux cant be sold so this thred is pointless.
