Techrights-secIBM has basically discarded red hat, I'm not sure what the point of the     Feb 02 08:36
Techrights-secacquisition even was given how things have been (mis-)handledFeb 02 08:36
schestowitzWrong assumptions had been made about Red Hat and then they paid too much mostly for a brand, not recognising how GPL works. A source once told us that attacks on Torvalds and 'suspension' (very shortly after announcement of takeover) were meant to lower the price of buying Red Hat. That was a year before quote mining a decade-old RMS on the most problematic issues.Feb 02 08:39

schestowitz-TR2like "Old Man"Feb 02 11:24
schestowitz-TR2Also,, the best cure is to focus on the issuesFeb 02 11:24
schestowitz-TR2I think Leo Laporte defended me on the air to that effectFeb 02 11:24
schestowitz-TR2as he too experienced thisFeb 02 11:24
schestowitz-TR2as did Michael ArringtontonFeb 02 11:24
