[ale] Redhat and AOL

[Adrin]

Yeah, They want to be able to put that AOL software on Linux Distros. If the
own Redhat they would be able to put it there.  :)

Soon you will get that annoying AOL software with Linux.

If AOL is looking to use RH software for something - they surely don't
need to buy the company to do so. If AOL wants to carpet bomb linux CDs,
they only need to create the CDs. If support is wanted, they can hire RH
with less financial exposure (I think).

AOL is looking for something internal to the company, a skill set or
something.
