Red Hat is among the largest funders of OSS development in the world. We need more companies acting like Red Hat.
I don't know how we get there when companies like Apple eat such a huge portion of the consumer OS and application dollar and companies like Microsoft and Oracle eat such a huge portion of the corporate dollar.
Red hat pays people to write open source software. The skinflints are the companies publishing closed source stuff and the consumers using free software.
Or they're small for-profit companies and they can't spare the revenue.
Or they're large companies and no one with a budget and decision power is even aware they use the product.
Or they're Red Hat... With limited budget for this and unlimited needs to cover.
