This looks potentially scary: AOL Time Warner to buy RedHat? For one there's what happened to Nyetscape; and the question of whether an AOL-owned RedHat's priorities would not be drastically different. (One possibility is RedHat dropping support for the Linux kernel, and replacing it with a proprietary, DRM-centric kernel, perhaps based on SCO UnixWare, transforming RedHat's Linux into an unhackable SSSCA-compliant appliance OS.)
