Imagination working overtime there, Anton?
Your claim:

>The key quote in the story is a recognition that Linux needs proprietary software to survive:<

The statement:

>Cohen added that proprietary software development was enormously important to the future of Linux and open source software, and that they would continue to co-exist. "There is an opportunity for a tremendous amount of software, mostly proprietary but some open source, to be developed on Linux. Proprietary continues to grow and grow rapidly," he said.<

Don't know what third world country you learned English in but you need a remedial course. NOW.

Aside from being wrong, as usual, where, exactly, do you see what you claim?

Since you know virtually nothing about Linux I see it as an exercise in futility in attempting to explain to you how many levels you are wrong on. It would be much easier to explain what you are correct about because that is nothing.

Go take your remedial course in English or ask someone to interpret for you.

About the only explaination I can come up with for you is your programming skills are so marginal you are afraid some guy working in his spare time on his hobby is going to cause you to lose your job once you supervisor realizes how mickey-mouse your best offerings are.

You're not even good at starting a childish flame war.
