They are prividing a certain sum of money, and that amount
makes them a platinum member, not more, not less. Basically
anoyone who donates $500,000 annually can be a platinum member
of The Linux Foundation. In case of MICROS~1, this is probably
an attempt to re-gain "developers' share", a facet of "the
new MICROS~1" thathopes people forget security nightmares,
forced updates, patent extortion and vendor lock-in... but
who really knows what happens inside MICROS~1... ;-)
