PAy someone to use it perhaps? Rest of the post was a bit of a random rant, so snipped. Just my thoughts, I'd be interested in your considered views.

Translation - 75% of the Linux kernel is now effectively controlled by corporate America. Techinically it's "open source" so somone like chrsiv, 7, and Dumb Willy can fork their own version of the kernel. ( I'll wait while you stop laughing.....) Meanwhile - the defacto standard one and only true Linux kernel remains under the control of corporate America.

How many different Linux kernels exist today? And before you make a complete idiot of yourself - "version numbers" (ie - different releases of the *same* kernel) don't count as "different kernels."

No, 7. 75% of the code in the linux kernel is written by paid developers. That 75% of code could have been written by 1 person, or 2000, but regardless, the amount of code is not equal to the number of programmers. So no, 75% of linux developers are not paid. |
