    Sorry, I have been having this nasty habit of sending out unfinished e-mail
    lately(mis-clicks). Anyways in summary a large affirmative no from key
    players would solidify Linux's position as being a collaborative and open
    project ultimately never for sale. I think it would also show large companies
    who are giving support like Novell and IBM a better idea and a concrete
    example of what open source and collaborative development is all about.
