Exactly the same? So, that means that you can point me to: 1) a breach of contract and 2) a trademark violation. I'm waiting.

Other things you might want to point to:

* Deliberate subtle changes in widely-depended-on interfaces. (Hint: systemd is a complete replacement, not subtle replacements.)
* Monopoly power used to require distribution. (Hint: RH is powerful, but SuSE, Mageia, Tizen, etc., aren't beholden to RH in the same way Sun was beholden to MS. Quite the opposite, really - they're plausible competitors.)

The list could go on. And on.

As I said on twitter, the parent here is really hard to top for layers of wrongness per word - quite impressive, really!

Hows this:

* Deliberate changes in widely-depended-on interfaces.
* Monopoly(*) power used to require distribution.

(*) Redhat and its derivatives comprise more than 50% of Linux.

What a weak-ass ad hominem attack! Can't argue this on its merits?

I apologize to everyone else for feeding the troll.

(Calling you personally a troll, by the way, is an ad hominem attack on your comments. Merely saying your earlier comments were incredibly wrong is not an ad hominem attack. But I suspect you knew that.)
