I wonder if this was prompted by the pricing changes RedHat
announced for the up-coming (PC) versions.
Apparently, they want to start charging for each installed
version of the product... before, companies would buy one
copy and then install it on many machines, which wasn't making
too much money for RedHat.
There was a write-up in the "News and Observer" (the local
Raleigh, NC newspaper) about it some weeks ago. The article
was comparing this new policy to the typical Microsoft
pricing policy.
So - if you're charging for each PC - wouldnt' charging
for each "Linux instance" make sense?
