If somebody wants a RedHat-compatible OS in order to run 3rd party binary-only software, this is not an advantage, but a disadvantage... If someone is crazy or unlucky enough to have to run 3rd-party binary-only software, that person should shell out for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I don't believe most proprietary ISVs will give you the time of day if you're not running on an officially-approved platform.

Since based on my experience, it [RHEL] is probably cheaper than the 3rd-party binary-only software anyway...
no good deed goes unpunished?

Reinforcing problem behaviors of the other vendor while punishing RHT for constructive behavior is not the way to get that.

Just FYI, my company ships proprietary software as RPMs, that we support on CentOS and RHEL. The software is quite expensive, but most people still run it on CentOS - it needs quite a lot of hardware to run on, so running on RHEL is a signficant cost.
So I don't like like a complete capitalist pig, we also provide a lot of GPLv3 software.

Out of interest, is your software only supported on RHEL/CentOS or do you also package for/support Debian or any of its derivatives?
