At a trade show in late 1998, dedicated to the operating system often referred to as &ldquo;Linux&rdquo;, the featured speaker was an executive from a prominent software company. He was probably invited on account of his company's decision to &ldquo;support&rdquo; that system. Unfortunately, their form of &ldquo;support&rdquo; consists of releasing non-free software that works with the system&mdash;in other words, using our community as a market but not contributing to it.
