What about money ? They want to sell their hardware and if the OS is released with its source code, every other manufacturer out there could use it for their own agenda (manufature a set top box or whatever is Genesi's goal).

certainly, if i had my own OS i would not give the source away! it would put me out of business!!!


Well lets all say goodbye to RedHat/SuSE/Mandrake/Connectiva/SCO then shall we?


What do you mean ? These  companies neither have their own OS nor do they produce hardware.  Nothing to give away, nothing to loose. It's a totally different business model. And yes, we might say goodbye to some of them soon. At least Mandrake is near bancruptcy.
