What kind of cockamamie nonsense is that? Just about everything Red
Hat has ever released either is already GPL or is slated to be GPL.
Their commitment to free software has been significant ever since Bob
Young founded the company. The GNOME that you're likely using has
significant Red Hat contributions. This kind of distro-war FUD you're
spouting out here only helps Microsoft. Cut it out.<br>
<br>
CentOS, etc. would never be able to exist if Red Hat's software were
not free, and both they and Red Hat have made that very clear. Several
times.<br>
<br>
Yes, I use CentOS, in its K12LTSP incarnation. At work, it's nearly
all some version of Ubuntu or Debian. My thick client runs Slackware,
and my firewall runs OpenBSD. They're *all* good.<br>
