That is what is sooo iritating about Open Source.
Microsoft could kill an open source company, but there is the small matter of the source code. Another group of programmers could pick it up and run, creating a new company.

Kind of like a monster that you kill. It lays on the ground with no pulse for a few hours, but then slowley wakesback up, then stands up stronger than before, ready to fight again.
