Samsung to Join Linux Foundation

Samsung will soon announce its membership in the Linux Foundation, reports Mikey Campbell in AppleInsider, and is prepared to pay the $500,000 entry fee that entitles the world's largest maker of mobile phones to Platinum level membership. A spokesman for the Linux Foundation says Samsung's membership will better enable the company to take on Apple, using both the Linux-based Android and Tizen platforms. At the very least, according to Business Insider, Samsung's investment will give the company a seat on the foundation's board and allow it greater oversight on upcoming versions of the Linux platform, including the Tizen mobile operating system.
