I've always had the suspicion that the real
reason
redhat won't distribute the original tools is the incredibly abrasive personality of the author (on display in this bugzilla and his web site
:-).
Here we go again! :) Red Hat won't distribute
the original, Fedora is NOT Red Hat, but Red Hat does control Fedora ***blink*** and thus is what we get.
It also makes me think which EGO is bigger(his or Red
Hat)? :)
One person makes a incorrect statement and another piles up on it and no good can come out of that. The problem is a legal one. Red Hat has the legal liability over code that Fedora distributes and we rely on lawyers from Red Hat and FSF to verify that we can distribute code under the free and open source licenses. It has nothing to do with ego of anyone

I am not questioning legality or licensing issues here. I was just wondering how EGOS get in the way of free sofware and Free and Open Source Software! We already know about those things in the forbidden items list :)
