quote:
Of course, the open source is also its main "drawback", because many companies don''t want the source code of their killer app to be released, therefore they don''t port it to linux. Also, many hardware manufacturers won''t give away their docs to anyone, so drivers take a little while to come.
Just because Linux is OpenSource doesn''t mean you have to write OpenSource software for it. If a company doesn''t want to release its source-code for a Linux-program, then they simply don''t.
(But the part about the drivers is true)
