LINUX Unplugged talks about the RedHat situation
(www.jupiterbroadcasting.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sorry, I am not a big fan of long podcasts (or even videos). If you can share the final conclusion, it would be great. I am really interested in this story and don't think that it has been covered bilateraly in the various forums.
Basically that they feel everyone has been looking at it the wrong way. They had a Redhat guy on talking about the situation also.
I get what they were saying, but I personally disagree. I think the truth is more in the middle of both sides. But ultimately this (and some previous actions from Redhat) has soured the Redhat brand for me.
Thank you very much! I am on the same boat
