These people have my greatest respect and deepest gratitude. I am striving to be like them. Some of us contribute to the best of our ability, fortunate to have others realize our value to their success. To pay our bills in life, we have agreed to provide production quality software for their products. Ultimately, indirectly, albeit more slowly, they too contribute Open Source software. Others believe the Open Source train isn't stopping at their station, failing to realize bleeding edge technology requires resource investments commensurate with their expected rewards. Their product development will fail due to the lack of exercising options that reduce development risk and ensure success. They are unlikely to benefit from or contribute Open Source software. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
