Funds..  Tricky word.  How do you put money back into Linux?  There's no
fair way to do it.  There will never be a fair way to do it.  Simply
because of the nature of Linux.

SuSE on the other hand give development of projects in return.  SuSE is
heavily involved with XFree, Alsa and ReiserFS projects.  I think this
goes a LONG way further than Redhat's throwing money around at people who
don't really care about money or can not use it to benefit their projects.
