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.
