    @REdOG

    IBM: We poured money and resources into Linux before 99% of the business world had even heard of it. We helped make it great. Why shouldn’t we require a return on that investment?

    PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I think IBM/RH is bone-headed as heck and are now inexcusable violators of the GPL, and other licenses.

    I knew they were going to *break* RH and make it something abominable.

    But they *were* there at the very beginning of the 2000s, promoting Linux heavily. (Not altruistically, of course)
