Red Hat was probably thinking that this would generate more revenue. IBM generates revenue on hardware support, so software is not as important as it is to Red Hat.

Which zLinux distributions are you using, and why did you pick that one? Also, can anyone explain what Red Hat was thinking when they wrote "IBM zSeries & s/390 subscriptions include the ability to run and support up 25 Enterprise Linux AS instances/images per subscription, per engine"? IBM's current z/VM licensing scheme is great, and even in the old "model group" days, they didn't care how many CMS virtual machines I ran.
