   At #ELC2012 #Corbet reminds everyone !RedHat's #RHEL !Linux release is !GPL compliant but "not nice" (My old blog on it is at ur1.ca/3gxju )

   @fontana, agreed, but #Conservancy still has !GPL obligations to meet as a distributor, just as you do when you ship #RHEL to you customers.

   @fontana, meanwhile, can you tell us when !RedHat #RHEL will go back to making it !Linux tree readily available in #Git like !Debian does?

   @fontana, IMO #RedHat uses #Fedora as a marketing brand plus open R&D to both improve & market #RHEL. Don't you think?

   @fontana, for my part, I can't *wait* to see you & #r0ml debate the !RedHat #RHEL business model & his experiences with it.

   @jwildeboer,"Wrong" seems strong,but it's not fitting w/ spirit of !GPL, similar to !RedHat's #RHEL business. That's why I brought up latter

   @jwildeboer, I didn't implicate that. Withholding something based on people exercising !GPL rights, however, is central to #RHEL business.

   @jwildeboer, #netatalk business model is not dissimilar from #RHEL model, it seems to me. Surprising a !RedHat person would criticize.

   @fontana, #Webbink probably has plenty of details on history of the #RHEL business model. Shall we interview him about this for our book?

    @fontana,I've also some recollection that we asked #Webbink if #RHEL source'd be publicly available & he said "not necessarily" or something

    @fontana, & perhaps it's true they've always been hidden in plain sight. Others also told me it was initially hard to get #RHEL sources.

    @fontana,Can't *prove* it w/out access to historical versions of !RedHat FTP site. I recall looking #RHEL source years ago & not finding it

    @fontana, !disturbing part is when you redistribute sw from your #RHEL subscription, !RedHat says: "Where's your subscription now, SEE!?!?!"

    @fontana, the !RedHat #RHEL "subscription" is still a "contract" in a legal sense, right? So,subscription is just marketing mumbo jumbo, no?

    @methoddan, @fontana is technically correct license is wrong word to use there but I too have many times heard !RedHat ppl call #RHEL that.

    @quaid, what's ETA on when !RedHat will practice what it preaches & follow #TOSW itself for #RHEL development? Why did it stop it 1st place?

    @fontana, if you record audio deedback of what you think @methoddan & I got wrong about !RedHat's #RHEL on !FaiFCast, I'll play in nwxt show

    @fontana, this is point I discussed w/ @mecpl & I will correct on next oggcast. I did not know all SRPMS for all of #RHEL 6 were available.

    @fontana,I'll introduce you to #r0ml at !OSCON; We'll ask him re: #RHEL. Been long enough,he'll probably talk to !RedHat lawyer about it now

    @fontana, good one. Meanwhile,I think this conversation just generated an internal !RedHat legal memo that says never ship #RHEL on CD-RWs.☺
