So I don’t understand why you and Raphael are out here calling me an apologist who doesn’t understand OSS.
Honestly, your messaging is rather confusing. I get where you’re coming from now, but the part where you said “People can’t expect enterprise features and support infrastructure for free” sounded a lot like you endorsed this kind of freemium model, and that it was only natural and fair that this was applied to Linux as well.
edit: I do support Linux distribution vendors having the option to do freemium if that’s how they feel they can best deliver, just not the way that RedHat is now trying to do it. And I support people trying to do it in a way that is completely gratis to the users.
