Let us hope that in making RedHat what it is, that there are still a few
heads of importance in RH which will never forget the story of Eve and the
Serpent... While this situation is a constant concern, I still believe
that RH has enough people (and possibly investors already backing RH) who
abhor slavery enough to stave off that opportunity ... These are the
hopes of a fool, but I still hold them.
