The LinuxTag has also been a sponsor of several other projects, especially Knoppix, a Live CD of Linux. Knoppix is often used to compare a Linux software running on a computer configured with another operating system (usually Microsoft Windows or Mac The X).
The event is usually sponsored by companies related to information technology and at least some of their interactions, by the German Government. LinuxTag 2007 was the victim of a boycott because it was officially assisted under the patronage of German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble, a member of the conservative party CDU.
