It isn't the "product" that is important, it is the "service" associated with the "product".

Sure, the software is "free" (as in: without purchase price), but the support contract certainly isn't: http://investors.redhat.com/released...leaseID=660156

I wouldn't call something that generates revenue of $100 million/month as being "anti-business".
It is just somebody changed the business model behind our backs.
