I'm not the guy you replied to but...
Redhat does barely make a profit. Most of their revenue is made on per-seat licenses of their "Redhat enterprise linux". They now use the same businessmodel as Microsoft except that they don't pay the workers actually doing their product.
IBM is a service company. That they can sell services has nothing to do with the parent posters problem of selling software. IBM likes linux because it basically gives them free labour.

Not that this means I agree with SCO or anything.
