Unlike Wind's claim, development over the Linux operating system can be protected.

Lineo says it has successfully operated by
using and aggressively contributing to
open source software while protecting its
intellectual property (IP) as well as the IP
of Lineo customers. Like IBM, Lineo
believes that there is a way to 'follow
both a proprietary and shared business
model, even one based on the G.P.L.' We
wholeheartedly agree with Microsoft that
no company "at the end of the day would
throw all of its intellectual property into
the open-source category." To do so
would be a completely broken,
unprofitable business model that could
not survive over the long term.
