I disagree.  If they were only interested in protecting their trademark, 
they wouldn't have thrown in that crazy line about not linking to their 
website without permission.

I don't get it.  Red Hat has been pissing off their community for about 
a year now.  Would somebody care to explain to me how that makes good 
business sense?

I guess that Microsoft is ecstatic.  If Red Hat pisses off enough 
customers, it weakens linux as a whole.

Just my $0.02,
