Who is Sponsoring the Work

The Linux kernel is a resource which is used by a large variety of companies. Many of those companies never participate in the development of the kernel; they are content with the software as it is and do not feel the need to help drive its development in any particular direction. But, as can be seen in Table 4, an increasing number of companies are working toward the improvement of the kernel.

Can anyone find 'Canonical's name showing in any gtk+ source code? Why?

Where are you, Canonical?

Uncle Ben: Remember, with great power. comes great responsibility.

Canonical doesn't do this, it has only one paid developer which works on other stuff.

I have to laugh at broadcom being on the list, their linux support is pathetic.

Actually that just confuses me. My laptop has Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express which works peerffeectly. Maybe their wireless division is just crazy?

HP as in Hewlet Packard? If this is the same company then why do they not offer any sort of linux distro. Im not sure about their servers but their PC's are windows only.

Isn't Canonical no bigger than like 10 people?

Nevermind that their revenue must be... tiny. Comparing it to the multi-billion companies is beyond silly.
