i was kidding about redhat. both option 1 and option two are identical in how absurdly remote they are. why would redhat or any Free software company want to buy a MacOS company that sells proprietary compression software and installers for MacOS? there is no reason at all, which is why they would never do it in a million years. only reason i used redhat for my absurd example is because they seem to be the one buying the most companys. but thats beside the point. > How will buying aladdin help redhat anyway? it wouldn't which is why it will never happen. both option 1 and 2 are equally likely to happen.
