OK, that's not really true. Mark is a sharp guy, and gets open source as
well, indeed, better, than most. But he's completely wrong on his
criticism of Red Hat (which Greg of the Fedora Project shoots down). His
basic point? Because RHEL is a closed binary, it's proprietary.

Going through my Fedora folder, I came back across this one. I have
never understood the comment. How is RHEL a "closed binary"? I'm having
a time making sense of that statement. No biggie, just curious as heck.
If RHEL was closed, CentOS wouldn't exist. :-D
So I would say that Mark really doesn't know what he's talking about.
If RHEL wasn't closed, CentOS wouldn't need to exist. Please explain
why I need to know the difference.
