Not sure I'm getting that right. Do you mean to say that "just like Red Hat", they mislead people..? How's that? I'm not aware of any of Red Hat's misleading actions.
Concur. Folks, please don't beat up on Red Hat, Inc., just because they
are active in enforcing their trademark claims, and ask people to follow a particular set of guidelines concerning those trademarks. _Any_ firm
with a trademark at stake tends to get a bit expansive concerning its
supposed trademark rights, because the structure of trademark protection makes that sort of thing inevitable. (If they don't keep pressing to
protect those trademarks, they lose them -- and they eventually would
lose them, anyway.)
Red Hat is a very benign and friendly company. Most firms are a great deal worse towards the community, and we of the Linux community have seldom had allies as dependable as Red Hat is. Understand that, sometimes, they behave like a business... because they have to.
you're indeed right sir, business is business :). they do need to do this in order for their company to survive and be able to fund future and existing projects for the open source company.
I apologize if i seem to be dissing RH, but this isn't my intention. sorry if by any chance ppl misinterpreted what i was trying to say.
hapi tuxing.
