The new Evil Empire is not RedHat. That's a mistake many of us have made.
Debian will rue the day it got in bed with Corel. I predict Obergruppenfuhrer
Cowpland will mount a full court legal press - and soon - to break the GPL.

Corel doesn't give a farthing for Debian itself, the project and it goals. As
far as Corel is concerned the dedicated folk who keep this wonderful
distribution rolling along are just so many bright kids who "don't get it,"
and I suspect - at least as far as the last claim is concerned - that they are
right.

If you think things have changed around here in the past year or so with the
advent of "Open Source," hang on to your hats; we're in for a real ride, and
real soon, and it won't be nice to watch...
