Maybe more specifically, how can I use Ubuntu “for free”, how can Ubuntu afford to just offer up the OS for nothing? Is it really just all donations from nice people?
In: Technology
Ubuntu is marketed by Canonical, they make 140 million in revenue selling commercial support. Also, Canonical did not write most of Ubuntu, they couldn’t sell Ubuntu if they wanted to as most of it isn’t licensed under conditions that would make it a viable business strategy. It’s a GNU/Linux distribution, extremely large amount of developers have contributed their work towards various pieces of involved software, each with their own separate motivations.
