"I find it hard to believe RHEL will get away with this. I hope the Linux Foundation weighs in" I'm curious what role you think the LF plays here, or what they'd do to prevent Red Hat from "getting away" with doing something that is entirely within Red Hat's rights to do. The Linux Foundation is a trade organization. It was created from the merger of the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) and Free Standards Group. The OSDL was funded by several large corporations - including IBM, Intel, HP, Fujitsu and others. LF wasn't "bought" by IBM and others. It was literally created by them. Granted, Microsoft is a newcomer (relatively speaking). But the LF is and always has been a trade organization that supports the interest of companies that want to do business with open source.
