While Red Hat welcomed Microsoft's recent decision to comply with the European Court of First Instance's antitrust ruling, Michael Cunningham, general counsel for Red Hat, stated that the company was
still concerned about Microsoft's patent model.
"We are reviewing the European Commission's announcement in the Microsoft abuse case and congratulate the Commission on the improvements announced," Cunningham said in a statement.
"Our enthusiasm is somewhat tempered, however, by concerns that the patent arrangements may have not been made compatible with open-source licensing, especially given the pro-competitive effects to consumers of the open-source model."

Most linux users say Redhat is the MS of the linux-es. Well I love redhat for there hight quality products and doing massive things for the Linux community in general BUT also for keeping the resitance hight against MS.
They are not like Novell and Turbolinux who are selling there souls to MS.
