Then you should probably try finding some. The drivel below is complete
fantasy.

So wrong as to be laughable. Red Hat has maintained all along that

there is nothing to pay, that Microsoft has never actually provided
evidence of any infringement. Red Hat made crystal clear that it did
not enter into any patent agreement with Microsoft when it did the
cross-certification work last year around running Windows as a guest on
on RHEL and running RHEL as a guest on Windows.

Seriously - next time you pump this crap onto the list, please check
your facts.
Red Hat is no place for Olympia Academy style pranksters, just for brain dead serious people, right?
Google, you better beware!
Thanks for the insight!
