“Anderson worries that big corporations will not understand
the ethics behind Linux.“
“I can see them dumping fresh code into the main code. And then
what happens a few years down the road when they want to pull out
of the Linux market, or turn against Open Source? Are they going to
pull their contributions out of the common codebase? I wouldn’t be
surprised,” he said.”
“Self-proclaimed Linux fanatic Davish (“no last name, just
Davish”) also foresees major power plays and politics littering the
Linux landscape of the future. He’s more trusting of Linux-only
companies, feeling that businesses with other outlets will find it
too easy to pull away from Linux and/or the ideals of the Open
Source movement.”
