In effect, these companies seek to gain the favorable cachet of &ldquo;open source&rdquo; for their proprietary software products&mdash;even though those are not &ldquo;open source software&rdquo;&mdash;because they have some relationship to free software or because the same company also maintains some free software. (One company founder said quite explicitly that they would put, into the free package they support, as little of their work as the community would stand for.)
