C'mon, please be fair. RedHat produces GPL software. RedHat produces
a distribution of their own. RedHad makes even more people use Linux
instead of some commercial crap. These things are GOOD. So please
be fair.
It is a major win for Linux to have a variety of similar things.
You can chose between Debian, Redhat, SuSE, Slackware etc. You can
chose between KDE and Gnome, you can chose between proftpd and wu-ftpd,
you can chose between in.fingerd, kfingerd and cfingerd etc. pp. This
is a major win for all Linux (and Unix) users. Please honor this.

This is the major concern on this topic. Then again they've stated
that the RHAD labs are independet from the RedHat distribution. Then
again they've also hired Alan Cox and the kernel still it not a RedHat
thing.
