How about the real history, where Red Hat took a bunch of software
developed by others, published the barely-working stuff with horrible
bugs (read the changelogs if you disagree....), then accepted
contributed debugging, fixes and improvements from the users until it
was good enough to charge for, then they cut off access even to the
people who had helped make it usable. And CentOS helps fix that
problem.
