simple question
I'm very interested in the future of Linux as commercial OS, but
I have a question:
Linux is great thanks to over 1000 programmers who hard worked on
it in their free time. It was a passion, an hobby.
For sure, the best valuable passion or hobby I ever seen, but I ask:
who can say me that I can be sure that this programmers will continue
their great job? I know that there are a lot of programmers, but
the problem is that, IF LINUX would reach (and I hope) a BIG MARKET SHARE,
a lot of people will buy it and use it. How can this programmers to
support such a market ??
They are not paid (economically) from their job. They're Linux system
programmers
in their free time. I know they're paid from their first job (most of them
are
programmers), but imagine that Linux would gain a lot of market.
How can I put my firm in the hands of their free time ???
And if they don't have anymore free time, what can we do??
Thanks for your attention and sorry for my bad english
