Slashdot included for Jan 1st a link to "The State of GNU/Linux in 2002: It was Good." ( http://www.ofb.biz/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=188 )
The article included several statements about "controversial moves" by Red Hat during 2002. However, it seems to me that the most damning move is the GPL and LGPL violations associated with the Dell/Red Hat alliance product Dell PowerEdge Web Server Version 3.x Powered by Red Hat Linux. They started distributing the product around March of 2002 in binary only form without any written offer of source code. During October of 2002 (including on the date of the Dell/Red Hat Open Source Security Summit), the product continued to ship without any written offer. To address the GPL/LGPL violations that took place for over half of 2002, both companies have been asked to issue via postal mail a written offer of source code availablity to all the customers that recieved these binary only and notice-less releases--to date I am not aware of either company honoring this request. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
