From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux Unplugged had a pretty good discussion IMHO about some of the more nuanced details behind the RedHat drama that I haven't seen being covered elsewhere as much. The final opinion about RedHat I leave as an exercise to the listener.

Basically someone from Redhat is on there saying how they are the victims and downstreams are stealing their stuff. Same talking points over and over.
