I would hat to have see this being discussed openly like because I'm sure that the folks at Red Hat don't know what they are doing. It's so important for them to realize what AOL will do to them. Look at what they did to ICQ.
Once upon a time you could download the program for free. Now you have to actually pay for it and every other IM you write gets an advertisement attached to it.
Look at WinAmp. Another free product that AOL has corrupted and ruined. have you noticed the monthly charge they've placed on it?
Or AOLServer. I can't believe they actually open sourced their own web server. What a bunch of idiots, I'm sure they'll get around to making that propietary soon.
And lets not forget how they closed down the mozilla project.
Oh and I remmeber when their TOC protocol for their AIM program accidentally "leaked" out, they shut down all the projects out there that used the protocol.
I'm sure that if AOL takes over redhat, they will propietize linux, they might even charge for the distrobution. They WILL destryo red hat out of spite.
thank god thats not going to happen
