I don't believe RH would take draconian measures to block all access to updates
except from those who pay. And yes, they've had a CD update service for a fee,
as well as a charge for the online automated update after the initial free
period, already in place for a while.
Maybe _I'm_ over-reacting, but they seem so have a major PR gaff in the making
if they don't get an accurate and complete announcement out ASAP. I couldn't
find any announcement on their web site. Anyone else find one?
If you've wasted your time reading any of the comments on the articles like I
did (on sites such as the ZDNet one), rumors and wild speculation abound --
especially from those that probably like to throw darts at Linux anyway. Maybe
that handful of online comments is meaningless, but public perception is a huge
part of the success of any business.
Hopefully, someone at RedHat responsible for public relations is feverishly at
work generating a detailed announcement and clarification. Anyone at RedHat
listening?
