|RHN is their bread and butter, I'm surprised to hear this news.
Slashdot pointed to an ARS Technica article about
RHEL5, which linked to an article about this, which
linked to this at inforworld:
http://weblog.infoworld.com/openresource/archives/2007/01/red_hat_to_open.html
I was pretty surprised, too. I suspect he's right, that
this is a reaction to Oracle. Whether it'll stick, who
can say? 8^/

First off, I'll believe it when I see it. I read that article a while
ago, and I'm still a bit skeptical.
But it does make sense. RHN is migrating to yum, and as a result, I
believe their satalite servers are as well. So by the time they open
source it, there isn't going to be *that* much to open. But RedHat will
be integrating it all together in a nice package, that's what people
are going to pay for.
If it happens, will we merge it into S.L.. I personally don't want to
comment one way or another. We'll see when it happens.
