Re: Re: Accusations



Hi all,
    I have been reading this one on & off. I simply
don't understand whatz going on here..

    Someone(Atul) is using LINUX to make money???.. 
IMO that's the whole purpose of making an OS like this
by Linus. He might not make money.. but someone will.
He doesn't stop it.. why others bother.. as agreed by
atul, nobody can hijack or lowjack linux as a OS. yes
have distros, make money out of selling them. Write
books about Linux, Make money.. & do what not to make
money but u can't sell the IDEA LINUX .. else Linux
would have been doomed by now.

Hope i made a point here.. 

and PLEASE STOP these boring mails. 

Advice to Atul: Ignore em. Do what you have to do.

Regards

Pavan
