Comment Giving away RedHat users. (Score 1) 666
Giving upon the RedHat distibution could be thought of as giving away potential customers.
Each RedHat user you loose to another distribution, is a potential paying customer lost.
RedHat's current success could be attributed to luring paying customers from the ranks of 'free distro' users. Selling to these users isn't too hard, they already realize the value of the OS.
Eliminating that base could be a potential disaster in that you have made your pool of potential customers smaller... How can this be an effective business model?
