Until then, insisting that Red Hat is a "coward" by not shipping > MP3 is essentially asking Red Hat to be a martyr and risk destroying itself. This is out of hand. First, I never made that accusation. I reported someone else making it and said I wished I had a better defense against it. Second, it isn't my job to negotiate agreements with Fraunhofer. That job belongs to an organization like Red Hat that has lawyers and money and can make a business judgement about cost versus expected gain in market share. Third, negotiating an agreement with Fraunhofer would not consutute martyrdom. What is it with the zeolots on this list, anyway? No contact with reality at *all*... -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
