Never mind whether I agree with James Finstrom or not... (I might, but that
is "outside the scope of" this [OT] message);
more importantly, ... double check that "ad"!;

internally for your development and training needs.

Hello! An ad from Red Hat would not be [caught dead!] touting any kind of
"volume discounts" (or any other kind of discounts, or special "deals") on *
"**software licenses"! *Hello! They might advertise the fact that
their software
does not *require* any licenses (and hence, no DRM... etc etc etc)... [but
there is a] BIG difference!
