I love open source Nazi's. Who the hell do you think you are telling anyone to do anything with their source code? You're as bad as the RIAA. If Be, doesn't wish to release their much sought after source, then it is their perogative. Let's not be overly naive here, all corporations utlimately care first and foremost about their financial report; they are after all businesses. RedHat might appear to display a noble support for the open source community but aren't they really just looking out for the interests of their customer base? Donating 10 gazillion dollars to the Mozilla project has much less to do with altruism and much more to do with plain old fashioned business sense when you are running a linux distribution eager to conquer the desktop market. -Paul
