” ‘We’ve made a strategic investment in Linuxcare because of its
central position in the Linux market and clear focus on enabling
the adoption of Linux in the enterprise,’ general partner John
Doerr said in a statement.
The investment is notable in light of the tension between the
traditional ways companies handle intellectual property and the
much freer open-source underpinnings of Linux.”
” ‘We are intrigued by the rapid growth of Linux and the
opportunities for companies supporting the open-source model,’
Doerr said in the statement.”
