  5. The numbers behind Open Source • Red Hat: Linux distributor. IPO 30 days ago. US$90/share. • Cobalt: Linux mini-servers. IPO 10 days ago. US$100/share. • Hewlett-Packard: entire business unit only for Open Source; free e-speak (broker system) and mail server software. • Sun Mycrosystems: will release source code of Solaris; free Star Office package; publicly available Sparc64 spec files. • IBM Consulting Group: 300 out of 1,800 are Linux experts. • SCO (Santa Cruz Operation): Linux consulting group. • Microsoft was recently declared a monopoly by a US judge. That will generate a cascade of interest in Open Source.
