   @brewsterkahle Why? Because capitalism. Because “open” as in “open for business.” Because being a multi-millionaire is apparently not enough and someone wants to be a billionaire.

     Ubuntu's owner, Canonical, to go public (see cite below). apparently not to raise money, so why? so shareholders can get money out? but then it can be purchased by another company.

     So much of the open world, depends on ubuntu....

     What do you think?

     "The head of Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu Linux distribution, claims it recorded a profit of US$175 million (A$237.7 million) in 2021 and is likely to undertake an IPO in 2023."
