Red Hat-bashing doesn't change the fact that Red Hat employees is by
far the largest corporate (or other single entity) contributor open
source projects. Project on which we contribute a lot include gcc, gdb
(through former Cygnus and other employees, we are by far the biggest
there), rpm, XFree86, glibc, gtk+, gnome, the Linux kernel and apache.

We also try hard to feed patches back to the original authors when we fix
something generic.

Anyway, flamewars never serve any particular purpose - followups
should go to /dev/null
