I don't trust the RedHat Network though. I had a customer that had his
entire /usr/bin directory wiped out after running the RH Network daemon.
It was a bloody mess.

RMS is the kind of guy who is very easily misunderstood. He is also the kind of
guy that tends to go a little overboard with things. In some cases, he mellows
out with time, after an initial burst of accusations. In short, he's eccentric.
And eccentricity and genius go hand-in-hand :)

I've met RMS as well on two separate occasions.
Sad but true.
At work, I had to install XP to test my software, and I was shaking my head
that after you install XP, you have 30 days to 'activate' it with M$.
Fail to do so, and the software locks up.
Do so, and that 300$ OS is then tied to that machine - legally, even if that
machine breaks,
to effectively OWN the internet
through sheer laziness and critical mass.

No you don't. You can download it anonymously for free, clone copies of it,
install it on a bunch of machines, etc. Support is another issue, of course,
but the software is free of a need to
Well, you go to a store and buy it. Then when you install it, the 30
day countdown begins. If you don't activate it within that time frame it
stops working.

No I would expect people to do whatever they want with their money. Frankly,
I am sure we all know someone or several peope who do buy the latest and
greatest. Obviously, vendors like this and keep them on record to send
advertisement and other bait on the fishhook for these kind of customer.
Maybe, because MS is hated largely by Linux users while Red Hat is hated by a
small ultra anti commercial software groups.
I heard of the Red Hat but had thought it was removed when Red Hat users
complained about it. Red Hat can probably get away with it with Linux user
turning a blind eye
