I guess Novel and Redhat were already in sync

So to recap:

RedHat is the company who makes OSS work as much as possible, and contributes huge amounts of work to all areas of OSS

Novel is the company who does a similar amount of work, maybe less, but has a lot of buddy-buddy Microsoft ads all over the internet

Canonical is the one who produces Ubuntu

RHELL has always been about marketing and not what's best for consumers. Remember gcc 2.96? Remember libc2? It's been going on for a LONG LONG time
