Nothing about RHEL has anything to do with this thread. > > I also think you're being overly dramatic and exaggerating when you say > that it's "treated like a red headed step-child".

I'm simply pointing out my observations when I consider PL's change of direction lately. Again, the move from a copyleft to a non-copyleft license kicked things off. This was followed by catering to the Windows crowd and now the front-end is pushing PE on the community. Look, if it's no big deal and such a minor change, why hasn't the download link just been reverted? In other words, I'm thinking PL does in fact see this as a big deal. I'm simply voicing my distaste.
