I disagree. If they were only interested in protecting their trademark,
they wouldn't have thrown in that crazy line about not linking to their
website without permission.
I don't get it. Red Hat has been pissing off their community for about
a year now. Would somebody care to explain to me how that makes good
business sense?
I guess that Microsoft is ecstatic. If Red Hat pisses off enough
customers, it weakens linux as a whole.
Just my $0.02,
