Typical, you make these broad assertions of fact but never have any proof. Red Hat has literally hundreds of kernel devs

Ouch, slam dunk! I do find that unlikely though. Red Hat has a bit over 900 employees, including management, administrative, sales, public support, internal support/IT, and developers for the vast majority of what ships with Red Hat that is not the Linux kernel, in addition to any kernel developers. I doubt they would have 200+ ("hundreds") working on the kernel alone, which is about 38 MB (source) out of the gigabytes that comprise a Red Hat distribution.

I'm still waiting for his apology for libel against Halfmanhalfamazing.

People who get ideological with their software annoy me, no matter which side they're on.

Well I'm obviously not the "ideological" one here since I clearly support products that contain open source like Apple OSX or Sun Solaris.

I'm simply pointing out the dangers of "GPL" code like Linux, which allows foreign governments the right to take the entire operating system and rename and resell it under names such as "Red Flag". Why that causes some of you to flip out and assault me personally is the question, seems to be a very reasonable and valid concern. At least to anyone who isn't a Stallman "ideologue".
