Looks like the open source world is killing itself..

First it was MySQL, then XFree86 and now possibly Apache, all of which 
are major components of what makes Linux distro's useful to many of us..

Then the major distro's going commercial making the barrier of entry 
significantly higher for newbies, home users and SME's..

If it continues at this rate M$ will not have to worry about Linux and 
open source for very long..

Later..
