RE: WTF? Red Hat & OpenBSD?

[Patrick Ethier <pat@secureops.com>]

Wow,

  Well, I had thought of offering Theo $10 Canadian for the OS but I guess
Red Hat beat me to it. Hmmm, looking at the license I guess I could save the
$10 and start my own OS...

 I also heard other stories, from an anonymous, very highly placed source,
that Bill Gates had put the condition on RedHat to acquire a half-decent
operating system before he was willing to push Microsoft into acquiring
them.

Just Gossip....

Hunh? I thought it was just me buying RedHat ?
I have a few cents here somewhere...
