Is Red Hat going to be the next Microsoft? (ZDNet)

[Posted June 21, 2002 by dave]

Dan Farber over at ZDNet spent some time thinking about their recent interview with Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik. Of particular interest to Dan is Red Hat's position against Microsoft, which he neatly summarizes point by point. Worth a read. "In fact, given that the Linux world is built on a collaborative approach based on the GNU GPL (General Public License), it's hard to imagine how any single open source distributor could totally dominate. Everyone has access to the bounty of source code generated by the huge community of developers evolving the Linux platform."
