Re: Publishes its own kernel?

What you propose is exactly the last thing that RedHat should do.

There are more than enough people in the Linux world who actually hate RH and all that it stands for.

They take the side of 'How dare RH make money from FOSS' and all that.

I actually applaud RH for making a very successful business from FOSS. They contribute lots back in to the Linux world but the haters seem to ignore that little fact. This especially relates to the kernel.

RH do play by the GPL and all their GPL'd code is downloadable.

If RH were to put a leash on Linus then the uproad would be heard around the world.

Linus is his own man and long may it remain.
