I have joined the Fedora list to see more about it but I claim this whole move is consistent with a point I expressed long ago. One can't make money on something you give away free. VALinux learned this as did other Linux producers. I was one of those who had so much confidence in RedHat I bought their stock when it was released. After 1 month or so my loses were about $5,000. To me Fedora comes from a decision by RedHat to make money not just coast along. Under this new arrangement this is what they will do. It will be pain for some but is no great surprise. Enterprise Software is where its at, money-wise. If some third party constructs a pseudo-RH Linux release for sale it seems to me they will not have to give it away free or allow it to be down-loadable. Again there is money to be made. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxx -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
