James Widman@mcc @nyquildotorg @glassresistor @aeva @nat @nullagent right, linux isn't an advertising company, but Linux does get some funding, probably because each of the "platinum members" of the linux foundation maintain a lot of critical stuff running on linux in-house, so they view the $500,000 membership fee as a tech support fee.
In that case, they can probably see a clear connection between "spend $500k per year" and "receive maintenance of large & critical business systems".
