They employ many people to develop Debian GNU/Linux and have donated
quite a bit of our core infrastructure. Their Linux Chief Technology
Officer is a former Debian Project Leader and a prolific Debian
developer. I believe that HP employ more Debian developers than any
other company in the world. If you think all that's unauthorized by
their board, you're delusional, pure and simple.
