RedHat sells support, delivery, and maintenance contracts on annual subscription bases.

Which just proves "a dangerous probability" that RedHat will "recoup[ ] its investment in below-cost prices." Brooke Group, 509 U.S. at 224.

His case is an action under § 1 of the Sherman Act (Trusts, etc., in restraint of trade illegal), not § 2. It has really nothing to do with monopoly power. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
