Story 1: AOL takes over Redhat. Meaning - it makes policy decisions for RedHat from now on. Story 2: AOL hires a group of professionals from a reputable Linux company, to help it transition its machines (servers, employee desktops, who knows) from whatever operating system was previously on them, to RedHat Linux. Compare: 1. AOL takes over Pizza Hut. 2. AOL makes a deal with Pizza Hut to have a restaurant inside the AOL headquarters, for the benefit of the employees. Two different stories entirely. Though I can see how story 2 may have become story 1 as it went along the grapevine.
