Yes, if you "sell something" by opposition as "not sell something because the whole package is too expensive", you actually make money. But if you know better, talk to IBM, I'm sure their model is crap and they want to change it.
Nokia contribution didn't seem to help them that much, and funnily enough, they dropped it.

Nokia don't contribute to linux to make money. They hate money, all they care about is connecting people. Boot your phone and see for yourself.

Either way, it's less money.

I mean the original company. If it'd be so healthy - they wouldn't sell themselves. At least hopefully SUSE/OpenSUSE will continue to be active.
