AOL/TW wants RedHat

[Tom Achtenberg]

While I dislike AOL,  I don't see this as a particularly bad move.  It would
definitely help mainstream Linux and possibly fund the development for
making the desktops functionally able to compete with MS.  Remember they
already own Netscape which has been supporting Linux for a long time.

It's not like they can undo the GPL.  Another company can just as easily
pick up the pieces of Red Hat and start Yellow Jacket Linux or
something.  The only thing lost there is the "name brand" Red Hat has
established.
