No, because in a head to head showdown where people could alternate
between Linux and PoetterGlom, in a year or two Linux would have won on
technical merits. They had to wreck Linux before they could proceed
with their plan.
I guess the problem with heading in that direction would have be the
lack of recognition, his project/operating system seems to have taken
advantage of a well established name, Linux and managed to Hijack a
large proportion of the userbase. a rather astute strategic and
political move when you look at it that way.
But ask, why does Redhat pay him for this. Redhat can't make money
consulting a simple OS that any admin can admin.
Follow the money.
