However, along with this thread I also want to bring up the fact that kenyan coders/developers also do not see any benefit in writing code for Ubuntu or other Linux versions. In fact this is quite shocking, given the strong following that linux has. So the creator of the system made it open and free ( for various reasons known so far ) , given the empowerment to the rest to do what they like whether to improve, market etc. I'd really love to see the Linux OS kenyan coders/developers list who have created applications or provided patches,updates or financial support and see their contributions over the last 5 years to the OS.

Let's cut to the chase. If we cannot link exactly why linus wrote the kernel, and we have no one who does anything at this level nor even write any apps, then it is a message loud and clear. People hate developing for this platform, lets get it out in the open. Its free but its still disliked.

Aki software has no nationality. When you frame your questions that way you make it look like one of those Kenyan peculiarities. Here is a quote from the book:

While Drupal had 45,000 users in 2006, it received only $1,000 in donations, for an average donation of 2 pennies per person
