This might be a good time to remember the 2006 Redhat Smoking Gun Interview: http://asay.blogspot.ru/2006/10/interview-with-red-hat-cto-brian.html =========================================================== Red Hat's model works because of the complexity of the technology we work with. An operating platform has a lot of moving parts, and customers are willing to pay to be insulated from that complexity. I don't think you can take one finite element - like Apache - and make a business out of it [using our model]. You need product complexity. =========================================================== Signed, sealed, delivered, they're busted. We aren't "muttering" that it's a monopolization technique, that's a fact for anyone willing to do a little research.
