The support from commercial > software is a major reason for the success of the RHEL product line. The real reason for the success of the RHEL product line is that its been GPL from the beginning. And commercial software saw it fit to leverage this GPL-pool, which is OK, but to then come around and say that "The support from commercial software is a major reason for the success of the RHEL product line" is trying to portray the situation up-side-down. This does not mean that we shouldn't allow non-GPL linkage, on the contrary, I am even calling for a stable API for the benefit of everyone, but it's probably the closed-source market's arrogant behavior that forces GPL-developers to respond in kind. Which is rather sad, if you think about it.
