This is because I want to see big software vendors provide software for

Examples---
WindRiver (vxWorks)
Big CAD/CAM companies
MathCAD from the MathWorks
The only thing that RedHat should not forget is that the reason SUN
Micro made their OS distribution free (binaries that is) was due to
distros like Red Hat Linux. Good Job. Red Hat should distribute the
binaries and SRPMS for free and only charge for support!!
Don't make us pay for your binaries. I don't mind paying for support.
If you pay for support however, then you're getting the binaries
already, so the point is kindof moot.
