so, if i understand this right, RedHat Linux just went to a yearly subscription model, ranging from $179 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS) to $2499 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS) PER YEAR ...
WTF??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) so, now i have to pay $179 each year to use Linux as a desktop workstation? this is nuts ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Andy |

Read my post again...
Redhat IS NOT open source. Linux is open source, the kernel that is, the tools available for use on it but Redhat is distributing a version of Linux that their programmers have customized with source code that they own. It's that source code that they are claiming is theirs NOT LINUX in it's entirety nor are they claiming that their product does not benefit from the open source efforts. They skim off the good stuff of the open source crowd via Fedora which I don't think is right at all... |
