"The development of the kernel has changed, and Linux is just getting better and better. However, with a community as large and fractured as the Linux community, it can sometimes be hard to get a big picture overview of where Linux is going: what's happening with kernel version 2.6? Will there be a version 3.0? What has Linus been up to lately? What does he get up to in his spare time?
I had the opportunity to chat with the original creator of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, in a number of email exchanges."

>One side of the community believes that corporate involvement fundamentally violates the basic principles of free software; these people are called "frothing-at-the-mouth" ideologues. The other extreme of the community believes open source is just an another development model that should ultimately be used for the private sector.
I don't know about which "sides of the community" you are talking. Because you are using the two terms "Free Software" and "Open Source" it seems like you mean those two sides.
I also agree that there are differences but i can't see the differences you describe.
The Free Software "side" is quite happy about every company which develop, improve or sell Free Software.
And as far as I know the Open Source side doesn't restrict them self only to the private sector.
