Red Hat reported profit of USD 18.2 million, or USD 0.09 per diluted share, an increase of 64 per cent year on year for the second quarter of the company's fiscal year, which ended August 31.

Well, they payroll MANY developers that write A LOT of that source, so they are no freeriders no matter how you look; there is little to nothing to criticize in that area.

Good for RedHat? Sure, and also good for all the people that like me (and you?) mainly enjoy the stuff and give nothing in return but admiration and gratefulness, if at all.

It is definitely good for RedHat and also good for me. I enjoy using Fedora and all the work they put into it. The custom GUI applications are nice.

I so regret selling my RedHat stock. After the dot com slump I figured it was all over for them. Now I am really kicking myself for not holding out. I think a lot of people also didn't expect them to thrive.
