USA Today: Linux-related stocks on IPO horizon Jun 24, 1999, 17 :19 UTC (3 Talkback[s]) (3927 reads) (Other stories by Doug Levy)
"Investors waiting to buy a piece of the increasingly popular free
computer operating system Linux soon will have their chance."
"At least three companies aiming to profit from services associated with Linux
(pronounced LIN-ucks) have initial public offerings in the works or being considered."
"As for Torvalds, he has no plans to profit substantially from any Linux-related IPOs.
'Not having a company that could go under if I say something stupid makes me very
comfortable,' Torvalds says. He says he's been given a 'token' number of stock
options."
