I don't know why they should. How are they going to make enough money to stay in business if they give away the work that they have to pay their programmers for?
Well, that might be true, but does not seem to be very well accepted in the Linux community. People are so used to getting everything for free, that there will always be an uproar, as soon as there is payment required. I just don't want to know, how much heat Red Hat is receiving since they started charging for their update services.
Yeah, but that is a little different too. Apparently, they are charging for access to their Red Hat Network. That is their upgrade (bug and security fix) mechanism. So now, if you want to apply all the security patches in an easy convenient way, you have to pay $9.95USD per month. - v -- Victor R.
