Open Stack

I'm no lawyer, but I think it would be hard to prove RHEL has a monopoly.
Still, Red Hat has turned a reliance on RHEL by OpenStack customers into a
clear liability for the rest of the OpenStack community. Rather taking Red
Hat to court, it seems it would healthier to get serious about supporting a
competitive alternative, or helping to create one.

[this my opinion, not that of anyone I may consult for from time to time]
