What? And lose ground on their "safest operating system on earth" territory?

I did believe that, too, but hearing these news and thinking about the
background and how the "top hats" went to deal with the issue, I guess it's
time to start thinking out of the box once again: The Linux developer
community, too, want to "sell" their products in a way. Both their kernel, and
their FSF ideals.

Now, after always claming that free software is the superior development
approach, they prove that some of its drawbacks are potentially more serious
than they would like them to be.
