Linux running on the XBox could only improve the XBox's marketing position. Think about it, the dreamcast isn't being produced anymore - yet millions of people own one and program for it, the situation is similar with the PS2, although development for that is just as difficult, if not more so, than the Dreamcast. If Linux could be made to run unmodified on the XBox then people could write code for it just as easy as writing code for a standard PC - just boot up the XBox linux disk!
I wouldn't be at all suprised if the donator was M$ based as somebody else mentioned, M$ can hardly come out and openly support Linux on the XBox, this is the only way they can support it.
