ISO approval shows the world that Linux is a serious, mainstream operating system, a serious companion to POSIX systems. It provides a benchmark between procurement and vendor, preserving healthy competition without allowing fragmentation of the market. Standards have been shown to contribute more to economic growth than patents and licenses combined, and the LSB will open the door to Linux as a requirement in large scale (e.g. Government) procurements. The approval of the LSB also makes it easier for individuals, companies and governments to concentrate their efforts on one unified program.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
