Maybe IBM will come
up with its own version of an enterprise distribution and keep
using Fedora for its testing ground as well.

I just hope that Fedora does not become one of those garage distributions.

Wonderfully stated.  The announcement took my breath away.  I hope
Fedora gets spun off.

Unlike the IBM of today, Redhat was not really your average capitalist 
enterprise so they supported Fedora. They had a long view which is not 
permitted by markets.In any case, I doubt that Fedora or OSS is an example 
of any kind of capitalism. A good place to start looking for that would be 
Somalia.
