I am glad I do not write code for Linux. That would be giving my time and code FOR FREE to help drones kill people. No thank you.

Nonsense, a corporation is a legal person in law, created to allow individuals to cooperate and avoid liability for the whole organization. A corporation can be formed for a church or a business or a social group.

Making profit may be one motive for companies to exist but certainly not the only one or companies would not survive the first few dry years. In USA, for instance, a company can be created to limit the liability of individuals to practice their art so legal protection, not profit, may be of prime importance. Even the Free Software Foundation may be considered a company in its behaviours yet it is not intended to make a profit. Revenue covers expenses. Many businesses start small as sole proprietorships and evolve to become corporations for many other reasons than to make profit. Bringing in more/new capital, bringing in more people, diversification geographically and of products may also be rationales for forming a corporation.

Mr Swift, I’d recommend you go back to your school teacher and ask for a compensation for your poorly developed reading skills.

I really beats me how you deducted that I call “linux users” any names in my original post. I merely contemplate on leftists in the world, who do wait for some revolution to spawn in some developing country, knowing deep inside that revolution in developed countries will never happen.

In my second post I made a desparate attempt to explain what is obvious to any rational human being – companies exist for the sole purpose of making profit, and the tools involved do not matter, as long as they stay within the law. The fact that IBM uses Linux does not make them a leftists. Simply because it is not possible for a company to be left.

Again, I humbly urge you to demand a compensation from your teachers for the wretched job the did with you.
