Simply rebuilding code, without adding value or changing it in any way, represents a real threat to open source companies everywhere. This is a real threat to open source…

This is beginning to sound like they're calling open source piracy.

"Noooo, you can't copy it. That's not fair."

Actually, they're beginning to sound a lot like Microsoft. It's their job to complain about FOSS but still contribute.

Hm. Perhaps Red Hat is trying to take Microsoft's place. In that case...

"Simply ignoring licenses, without acknowledging their terms and dismissing open source practices while still contributing to the FOSS community, represents a threat to closed source companies everywhere. This is a real threat to closed source..."

Yo, Microsoft. Don't worry about the Activision acquisition. You have new competition to acquire.

Sarcasm aside, this is what we should have expected once they were acquired by IBM. You know, that company which has only ever behaved in an ethical manner for the last... century? Some fun history there. People should read up about it. Especially the '30s and '40s. And then jump to the '80s and '90s where they seem to still be stuck because they're kind of pulling a "pirates of Silicon Valley" thing here.
