[olug] Red Hat tells customers, 'No more freebies!"

Actually RedHat Linux will still exist,  it will be call Fedora.

I agree with your assement, on this issue, But I also think this will hurt 
Red Hat's relationship with me and some of the open source stuff I'm 
working on.  I'm trying to promote using good open source tools to get a 
specific job done, then if you need support you can purchase it through 
the tool vender, otherwise your free to do it yourself.  Only IT 
departments with freed up money to spend will use Redhat now. :( 

Personnaly, I wonder if Redhat is getting scared about this SCO suite, and 
is attempting to cover their butts.
