Bruce: What's wrong with RedHat?

Parent article: An Evening with Bruce Perens

I've seen Bruce Perens say elsewhere that RedHat is doing something wrong (spirit of OSS) with its Enterprise products. Presumably this is a follow-on from that. But I've never seen stated what the problem is. I could probably search around and find it stated somewhere, but I'm slack and I've seen Bruce post comments here occasionally. So Bruce: If you see this could you elaborate your problem with what RedHat is doing? Or if anyone else can point me to where he's already done that?

The most important things that a user-driven distribution can provide over RHAS are that the free version will be the certified one, that there won't be a lock on support information, and that it won't be dominated by one company. I am having talks with sponsors now. You'll hear from me in a few weeks.
