Boy, you sure proved your cluelessness. Red Hat Linux 8.0 shipped with XFree86 4.2.0, of which XFree86 4.2.0 was released a good 6 to 9 months before that, and was also included in Red Hat Linux 7.3. Red Hat Linux is 100% open source, and KDE is not a fork. There is no closed source KDE in Red Hat Linux. What was changed in KDE were the default graphical _theme_, the menu structure, and default icons, and few other small things. That is *hardly* a fork. It is a modification, and one which the GPL license that the code is under allows completely. Please check your facts before making an arse out of yourself. -- Mike A.
