Boxing GNU/Linux, adding tax
Summary: OpenLogic adds a support tax to a GNU/Linux distribution which is already taxed by Microsoft (on a subscription basis)
THE company run by a former Microsoft manager is propping up a Red Hat clone on Microsoft’s own turf, which is risky to the freedom of GNU/Linux. To quote a Microsoft-friendly publication:
=> ↺ company run by a former Microsoft manager | ↺ propping up a Red Hat clone | risky to the freedom of GNU/Linux
OpenLogic, provider of open source scanners, open source governance solutions and community-backed open source support for the data center and the cloud, announced today that it will provide CentOS Linux through the new Microsoft Windows Azure Image Gallery.
It is not the provider of “open source scanners”, those are proprietary scanners. They are openwashing themselves and helping Microsoft derail Red Hat while granting Microsoft more control. █
