“I believe together we can solve many of the most complex
problems our world faces. I also believe strongly that we, as a
society, will never fully realize the full potential of the power
of participation unless and until we find vehicles for individuals
and institutions (both public and private) to directly profit from
it.

“So, while it might sound strange, I believe one of Red Hat’s
most valuable contributions to the open source way is our
profitability. We have clearly demonstrated that a company can be a
good steward and catalyst in open source and be a profitable
enterprise as well. I hope this serves as an example and
inspiration to others to enter and participate in open source.”
