But with your logic Oracle is an example of a company that is "prolinux" that has sued "prolinux" companies (Google Android's Dalvik (has nothign to do with Linux itself ofc)).

The simple fact of the matter is that none of the Digia people had access to the repositories to do commits which you would know if you'd read the mailing list that was linked in the article, that is being fixed now.
and as addressed above their website clearly indicates that they're in the support business, not the software sales business. It's much as Redhat has RHEL but there's also CentOS, Scientific Linux, etc..
Originally posted by funkSTAR View PostEnough about Digias open core business model. Now onto Nokias shameful patent attacks against Linux. Nokia wanna do it in style so the team up with Microsoft.
Microsoft is party to the just-announced deal between Nokia and Mosaid, a Canadian patent licensing firm. The Redmond company has a "passive economic interest," its officials are saying.
They are hunting down phone producers whom deliver Android phones.

So it is not a matter of Digia being sorry about this "mishap" is their business model for christs sake.

I never said companies shouldnt og couldnt contribute. I hope they will. But not in the form of CLAing rights to Microsoft strategic partner. Having Nokia own a toolkit is as stupid as having Oracle own OOo. And now we even have seen the star om the open core business model through Digia.
Sorry but no piece of sofware is worth that.
Digia itself from my perusing of their site makes their money the same way Red Hat does which is to say support contracts.
