Apparently its only our brain-dead local Red Hat distributors that don't
get it.  Is there any representative from Touch Solutions on this list
listening to what we're saying?  I've never heard of any "licensing
fees" demanded for any Red Hat distribution anywhere else but here.  If
this were a general policy of Red Hat, it would be all over Slashdot by
now, and the company subject to the ridicule it would so richly deserve.

Red Hat's business model has always been about providing support, and
that's what you get when you pay US$2.5k a year per deployment.  If you
don't want it, nothing forces you to pay it, naturally.
