<PRE>><i> I think there is a difference between Mageia selling DVD's, access to
</I>><i> dedicated download mirrors, t-shirts and coffee mugs in order to raise
</I>><i> some cash to support its operations and running a commercial distro that
</I>><i> aims to earn money by only offering the commercial deal.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It would be unwise IMHO to focus on getting Mageia as a commercial and
</I>><i> corporate entity. For one, the people who now have generously donated will
</I>><i> feel (rightly so I'd say) quite miffed at their donations being used to
</I>><i> make others a profit.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> If this is what Mageia would want, then that should have been part of the
</I>><i> initial announcement. Uptake, enthusiasm and support would have been
</I>><i> different in that case though. Should anyone want to operate a Mageia
</I>><i> based commercial Linux venture, then that is of course for them to decide,
</I>><i> but Mageia or its board should not be influenced by this or profit
</I>><i> considerations.

No problem. It was just by way of conversation. It is always nice to air
out these things.
