   This is one of the reasons why I don't use redhat. no matter how good
   they can get Linux to be. I don't trust them, and I am a idealist, I
   rather use debian, gentoo etc,cause I know they don't have to worry
   about sales or competition, so they will be true to the GNU idea and to
   the original community spirit. companys have to worry about other things
   and I understand.. but not for me. that was the reason I dint use
   windows in the first place when I had to choose between windows95 or
   GNU/Linux in the 90's I stick with my slackware Linux and today I
   continue sticking to non corporate OS's like Debian.

Perhaps rather than speculating it might be more productive to ask the
FSF to investigate this.
