Comment Cue the jokes (Score 1) 84

I know it's fun to laugh at the Zune, but I had one and kept it going for a long time after it was discontinued. It really was a great device, and was my primary kitchen music source for years. I even had the brown one. It had some great features for the time, though I can't see using one (or an iPod, for that matter) today.

Oh, I don't think they're evil, and I appreciate what they have done for years. I can totally see the logic of this move, and I'm happy that they are making money with Open Source and giving back. I'm just saying that, while this plan might work for some people, it won't work for us right now.

Comment Probably A No Here (Score 4, Interesting) 129

As a long time CentOS (and prior to that, Fedora) shop, we have been taking an interest in these developments. The thing is, as a small business, one of the really appealing things about Open Source is that the friction of licensing is just not there. We could probably qualify for this program, but why would we want to have to worry about auditing ourselves to see if we needed to start paying at some point when we can just switch to Debian or one of the CentOS clones which are in the works? Not that Red Hat cares about us one way or the other, we're too small to register.
