In the past IBM has been extremely reluctant to outright own a Linux distro. Likely for fear of alienating the Linux people by corporate behaviour. Why now? Is this a preventive strike to prevent somebody else from owning Red Hat? Microsoft seems to be on the prowl to buy open source stuff and Microsoft owning Red Hat could be really bad for IBM.
