Based on number of licenses sold, or total revenue?

IBM has a big share of the POS market, and their POS system is based on SuSE.    
They don't count the licenses on a per-terminal basis as far as I know, so 
their "market share" would be skewed too.  I know of only one very small 
specialty POS system based on RHEL.
