oops. You got me wrong.
Of course IBM is helping a lot, and promoting Linux to their customer is more
than just giving some money to some projects. I said "even IBM" meaning that
others do less.
From my side: I hope that $1000 from IBM / KDE Theme contest (bronze) was
finally credited to KDE account, and that money found its way to KDE
development :-)
But: do we have some KOffice developers paid by IBM (HP, Dell), either
directly or indirectly?
I know that Sun is backing GNOME, aware about KDE League existance.
Question is wether some of IT companies are going to support KOffice
*directly* (paid jobs). Or am I dreaming?...
