schestowitz__You can make the ""you get what you pay for" argument regarding Free Software, Edward, but it's BS for non free software and I'm not sure what obligations it puts on Red Hat in this case.May 24 17:49
schestowitz__In the case of non free software, all you are really subsidizing is a bigger yacht for the executives and drug fueled orgies. Non free software is inherently a fraud, keeping secrets to extract things a free market would not deliver, and the whole business has been dishonest. Snowden's leaks are finally proving how dangerous that fraud is.May 24 17:49
schestowitz__The only obligations on free software developers are to pass on the freedom they enjoy themselves. That's it. Various business practices of free software developers and companies might create further obligations.May 24 17:49
schestowitz__The Dell rep clearly misspoke, but Dell is generally dishonest in advertising, product liability cases and as a vendor of fraudulent spyware. In this case, I think they have proved their dishonesty and technical incompetence.May 24 17:49
schestowitz__This has nothing to do with Red Hat. If Red Hat is providing training and support for Red Hat to Dell, that's wonderful. It has nothing to do with CentOS or any other gnu/linux they don't know about. Why would a Red Hat representative spend Red Hat time and money doing something they are not really trained to do? Do we expect Red Hat people to solve Microsoft problems/malice as well?May 24 17:49
