I don't think commercialization is the answer to anything. It's just one more facet of Linux, and not the deciding one by any means.

I'm a technical manager, but I don't have to take care of people. I only have to worry about technology itself.

I don't try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don't really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different.

Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.

Real quality means making sure that people are proud of the code they write, that they're involved and taking it personally.

In many ways, I am very happy about the whole Linux commercial market because the commercial market is doing all these things that I have absolutely zero interest in doing myself.

I actually don't believe that everybody should necessarily try to learn to code. I think it's reasonably specialized, and nobody really expects most people to have to do it. It's not like knowing how to read and write and do basic math.
