...[Red Hat CTO Michael] Tiemann also said the software world "can no longer
afford the folly of proprietary architecture."
Red Hat seems to be taking a cue from Sun's support of OpenOffice.org as a
100% free project while selling essentially the same code, plus some add-ons,
as StarOffice. OpenOffice.org experiments in ways that StarOffice does not.
One example is an in-progress Mac OS X port. Successful experiments are
available for later StarOffice inclusion.
Fedora, said Tiemann, will provide "the stimulus and the R&D" behind many
future Red Hat innovations. And while Fedora explores the leading edge of
Linux, Red Hat will concentrate on producing stable, mature enterprise
products -- and, obviously, on marketing those products.
