This one is easy. LinuxWorld seems to be a business, Distrowatch is not, it's an organisation, pretty much like a voluntary organisation or charity. I hope this comparison is making it clear to you. You should read up on GPL and the Debian Social contract, please. This is not Microsoft, and software is not purchased and comes without guarantee or recompense. Similarly Xandros and Linspire among others are produced by companies, Debian is not. It's a community effort many distros are using to base themselves on, and this in itself is your much longed for 'credibility'.
