While the news that the Linux Router Project (which provided a single-floppy routing capability in Linux) has been terminated by its author in a state of some bitterness itself represents a sad outcome, some wider reflections are more troubling. The question being: how can Linux developers support themselves? The for-profit model of proprietary software answers this question for its developers without doubt.
True, some people make a living at Linux, and some people don't want to make a living at it, but just want the make the OS live. Perhaps that will be enough, but there are times, like this, when optimism is a bit harder to come by than it normally would.
