you neglected to mention that with the exception of usage of trademarks
and artwork specific to Red Hat and Fedora, the software is free to be
used by Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware and apparently, even the only
corporation more evil than Red Hat, SuSE  ;-)  Talk about
exploitation... 

Maybe I should go out and buy and iPad so I can subscribe to AT&T, Hulu,
the WSJ, etc. and pay $100 a month for DRM encumbered software. Apple
probably pays their help more... oops, did they outsourced overseas?
