This is GE's pet panic inducer. Asianux is actually a consortium, run by several entities, including the US's Oracle. This consortium produces a linux distro in complete compliance with the GPL. Red Flag is a company out of China that is also part of this consortium, but they also produce a distro that is based off of Asianux.
GE likes to trumpet Red Flag as an example of another country "stealing" US code without any benefit to us.
In reality, a lot of the code isn't even created in the US (see also GE's rant about linux being a "foreign fake"), and Red Hat gets this code for free also.
This whole argument is basically a straw man that he occasionally likes to strike down and then feel superior. We've been letting him do this as it makes him feel somewhat better about his arguments.
lol. Kind of like Canada..., what some wag described at your retarded cousin whom you listen to and pat on the head and then ignore.
In other words, they take all the free technology they can from US companies like Red Hat, and sell it across Asia for their own profit instead of ours. Don't act like Red Hat doesn't contribute to Linux, they have more kernel contributors than anyone. Ever heard of "RPM"? Do you know what the "R" stands for? Hint: it doesn't mean "Made in China". Yet China profits from it, since they get it for free.
