Red Hat公司曾经在早期赠送给林纳斯一百万份的股份,现在价值翻了60多倍,以前貌似曾经翻到上百倍,而且林纳斯现在在linux基金会工作,应该是有工资的。但是林纳斯所做的工作属于公益事业,是不盈利的,所以赚钱远不及比尔。
以下是关于linux与redhat的网文:
Red Hat can thank Linus for reaching $1 billion in annual revenue. And Linus can thank Red Hat for his yellow house in Portland. Prior to its initial public offering in 1999, Red Hat gave Torvalds what turned out to be about $1 million in stock. But Torvalds says that it was his only big Linux payout. Stock that he was awarded from Transmeta and another Linux startup, VA Systems, wasn’t worth very much by the time he was allowed to sell it.
