saying 'at least redhat never tried to monetize fedora' implies that redhat is somehow 'more virtuous' because it never tried to make money off of it's non-datacenter version of Linux.

While it is true that they have never tried to make money from "fedora", the implication that they never tried to make money from home users who could download things for free is defiantly false.

If RedHat had succeeded at monetizing it's home users, the RHEL/Fedora split may never have happened.
