Re: [PLUG] Exactly what is RedHat doing?

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

More from a CentOS developer (but not an official CentOS statement):
http://centosnow.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-new-kernel-srpm-distribution.html

In summary: mildly annoying but not a GPL issue, no harm, no foul, 
nothing to see here, move along...  (Except for the CentOS "Plus" kernel 
which may be affected in the ways we already noted.)

In addition, he notes something I was wondering about.  *When* did Red 
Hat do this?  The blog author Johnny Hughes says 4 months ago, which 
corresponds to the release of RHEL6, which makes sense.  Except why all 
the big to-do now?  If it took everyone 4 months to notice it's probably 
not really that big a deal...

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
