Wonderfully stated. The announcement took my breath away. I hope
Fedora gets spun off.
Unlike the IBM of today, Redhat was not really your average capitalist enterprise so they
supported Fedora. They had a long view which is not permitted by markets.....In any case,
I doubt that Fedora or OSS is an example of any kind of capitalism. A good place to start
looking for that would be Somalia.
