BTW: Red Hat in general is not very GPL friendly...
I'm not the defender of anyone, but can you explain this statement? Putting such ana ccusation on a public list without proof is not fair. I've seen red-hat releasing most (if not all) of his code with the GPL license so far, so I cannot see why you say they are not-GPL friendly. So far, in my experience, it seem that red-hat has been one of the most free software friendly commercial GNU/Linux distribution. I can be wrong of course.
Some time ago, I made a proposal to include some (non-read hat) code covered by GPL. The answer was: We are not allowed to include code that has not been coded by Red Hat employees.
include into what ? knowing your diplomacy may be you simply got it wrong ... (but that's my opinion based only on the flames you have made on this list)
