Well he certainly didn't put it on a website.

Person A writes book and publishes it for sale.
Person B writes software engine for searching
Person B decide to use their search engine for sharing of torrent file data.
Person C enjoys person A's book and creates and uploads torrent of Person A's book, (which is just a pointer to Person Cs computer at this time) to search engine and begins seeding. Person C has nothing to do with Person B. They don't know each other, have never spoken, or implicitly communicated for any purpose.
Person D .. Z download torrent, complete dowloading the file, and then seed to others who have not yet completed downloading.
Person B notices a lot of traffic to his search engine and puts advertising on it to recoup costs, ends up making profit.

Please explain to me how Person B profited off of Person A's work and not his own? If anyone is responsible it is Person C, and possibly D through Z (but it's definitely Person C who performed the infringement).

And when it fails it fails hard. I can't say I agree with your approach either. If you are concerned about how fast your server boots up after downtime you've already lost. A Server failure should not take down multiple critical systems. That's how you save real money.

>Because, you know, Zimbra can't use the postfix, apache httpd, amavis, tomcat or openldap that comes with RHEL

Part-time problems. I suggest you haven't looked closely enough at RHEL's capabilities (see channel subscriptions) or you should probably just go with something like Ubuntu or Fedora if you want/need bleeding edge. Though I did a check and I'm not sure what your issue with Zimbra on RHEL is anyway.

Congratulations you've decided that uptime matters more than your stability. Such wisdom!

> given that when the server is down, the phones are down, the security system's video recording is down, the internet access and internal networking is down, the environmental controls for the building are down, etc.

What?

> but if you're doing security updates, it boils down to having update everything sooner or later - might as well have it all on one machine.

Oh ok, you're trolling.

The assumption that I am free to choose what platform I support is bonkers. I am asking to choose the init system. I make multiplatform software. I need to support every distro, and it has fractured in to SysV and SysD. It will fracture again further in the future. Locking in is stupid stupid stupid and anti-UX
