The REAL reason why Red Hat Linux is no more (Score 0, Redundant)

I know from internal sources that the main reason Red Hat Linux is being canned is because it all boils down the the restrictiveness of the GPL/GNU licence. I actully know some people at the very top wished linux had a more "BSD" licencse so they could make a better business model, GPL has strangled them from that.

And thats what it all boils down to. GPL acts like its the best free and fair thing thats helping the world. But if your truely interested in things such as helping the end user and good software grow, you would NOT be a fraid to hold other potential companies / business models back and you WOULD NOT have such restrive licences such as GPL that are largely based around an alias of Fear and Greed.

PHP is the best example against this.. these the PHP open source side under BSD licence and theres the Zend commercial business model. The reason why PHP is so successful is because they KNOW they can BSD there stuff cos they ARE NOT afraid of any one else cos they are truely good software, and if some one can make a better commercial product then they are welcome to try and and creates great competition thats beneficial to the end user. This is was the true open source spirit should be about, not licence based around fear of competion, and holding back others. Deep down inside RMS knows this but he knows that GPL is a good seductive licence that can suck in developers, but as many other people have said RMS's goals are a little more sinister and evil then that, but I wont bother going into them.
