Une interview du patron de RedHat.


InfoWorld: Is there room for vendors that bundle Linux with products that 
don't have open-source licenses attached to them?

Young: Our perception is that the reason that Slackware and Debian are 
the second and third most popular versions of Linux behind Red Hat is 
because they're also delivering the same control benefit to users.

The problem with other, smaller commercial Linux vendors is they look at 
Linux and they see a broken economic model. Great technology, but a 
broken economic model. So what they do is, they take Linux and surround 
it with proprietary tools. The problem is, from a support and bug 
tracking issue, you've effectively just bought another proprietary 
binary-only OS.
