In a perfect world where programmers work for love of mankind, Linux looks good. In the real world, where everybody wants to be a gagillionaire, things look different. As the competitive pressure on these $50B Linux companies with no revenue increases, the Linux world will get increasingly hostile. Just as Sun controls Java, there will be one dominant Linux player, or the OS will get lost in standards committees, or it will become as fragmented as its daddy.

IBM does not care if they sell MQS into Linux, NT, or AIX. But do you expect them to open source MQS or DB2?
