I don't see a word in that page that implies that "they are the first
and only one committed to open source stuff."  IMHO, if they want to
support the FSF explicitly with one product, more speed to them.

Though it would be better if they donated 1% of all of their sales to
FSF, or even $1 from every Red Hat package sold.
