Were you a customer? Was Red Hat actually deriving any revenue from the machines you were running Red Hat Linux on besides a trickle of money for Red Hat Network subscriptions? If not, why do you think they should be concerned about what you run now?
$300 a year for my up2date subscriptions. So yes. They were on my 5 boxes. $300/year when all I need is up2date access for patches seems like they could make a profit off me. Also I do consulting for many companies, and in every case I would tell them to use up2date.
And how does this have anything to do with full-disclosure? You might want to take discussions like this to an appropriate Red Hat mailing list, not a security discussion list.
Because as of December there will be no security fixes for RH 7.x / 8.x so it is as on topic as some of the other stuff on this list. -Josh _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
