Gee you must be right
"Red Hat is simply the largest example yet of why open
source is not going to work on this scale: corporate entities
do not give a flying leap about anything except their own
shareholders. Since the only way to make any real money in
open source is through lock-in and shoddy products, that's
what they're going to give us. "

Gee you must be right. This is the reason we don't
have:

Apache
Eclipse
IBM's Java SWT
Linux 2.6
Debian/Fedora/Slackware
NetBSD
Sendmail
Bind
OpenOffice
Darwin
GTK+
QT
MySQL
Ingres
MaxDB
PHP
GNU compilers
GNU utilities
Mach Kernel
Ant

No wait a minute we do:-)
