| [PLUG] Exactly what is RedHat doing? |
It appears that Red Hat has secretly patched what it sells as RHEL and it claims it did so to make it difficult for CentOS and Oracle to offer support for RHEL. Apparently it releases involve a kernel with all of its patches already applied, rather than releasing a kernel and then patches. Red Hat claims it's not violating GPL, but it is interesting to see this cropping up now. I wondered when someone would find an opening and attempt to exploit it. http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2011/03/04/red_hat_twarts_oracle_and_novell_with_change_to_source_code_packaging/ ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
