Linux is not RHEL and SUSE. You can use Linux without using RHEL and SUSE and still get all of the Linux kernel features, which is the entire point. That's exactly what makes it a good foundation. They aren't arbitrarily screwing their users out of features. There is no such thing as an 'enterprise-plus Linux Kernel'.

This is a blatant lie that shows nothing more than your ability to troll. If you can't handle a specific search provider getting your data when you search, change your search provider.
>Even Apache, a "good" open source foundation, houses Cassandra, which is largely contributed to by DataStax, which sells its own version of Cassandra
It doesn't matter, you seem to be failing with basic logic. Cassandra may be contributed to by DataStax, but DataStax doesn't control the gate so they can't stop contributions that overlap with their product's functionality. nginx can and does stop patches that duplicate 'enterprise functionality'. See the problem?

Maybe I should have provided a source, but calling something that is easily google-able and was on the front page on HN a "blatant lie" is worrying. Why would I lie on the internet? >Cassandra may be contributed to by DataStax, but DataStax doesn't control the gate so they can't stop contributions that overlap with their product's functionality. Again, you should research your claims before assuming I'm lying. The project chair for Apache Cassandra is also the Co founder of DataStax - so yes, DataStax does control the gate.
