Does RedHat provide indemnification to its users? I know commercial operating systems do, but most linux distros don't. I am not sure about RH, as it kind of sits in the middle.

Red Hat does

Novell's deals has only helped validate this kind of FUD.

"Ballmer praised Novell at the UK event for valuing intellectual property, and suggested that open source vendors will be forced to strike similar deals with other patent holders."

i dont think you know what commercial means.... you are looking for the word proprietary.

And as to your questions, redhat does provide indemnification.

Actually they often do not. Many users of Microsoft SQL Server (I believe the 2000 version) were sued and lost on a patent infringement case.

"Does RedHat provide indemnification to its users?"

In most countries this is not necessary since end-users/consumers can not be expected to understand the internal complex workings of the products they purchase and what patents they could possibly violate. Patent violations are the responsibility of the manufacturer and/or distributor.
