Lycoris LX"
Sure, Red Hat have a commercial-only distribution, Red Hat
Enterprise
Linux. But they've put a lot more work into that than a couple of
desktop
backgrounds and some icons.
Also, Red Hat put a huge amount of work back into the free software
community before they went commercial, and they continue to now.
Some
examples:
- Training and certification
- Cygwin
RedHat has some very heavy hitters backing them up financially. They could
perhaps afford
to do these (excellent) things. IIRC Lycoris is a few guys doing it on their
own.
I think you'd be challenged to name one major thing Lycoris has done
to
benefit the Open Source community as a whole.
