He wants them gone. Or at least, he wants their closed, proprietary software outta here.
Now that Red Hat has become the first and only pure open-source company with a billion dollars in annual revenues, his goal is the death (more or less) of proprietary software.
HOW AWESOME !!! Sink Em'
He Says, "We got to a billion dollars by convincing the world that open source is a viable alternative to traditional proprietary software, The next step is to make open source the default choice in this next generation of computing That's what takes us from $1 billion to $5 billion and beyond."
Open source lets software users make changes and freely share the software with others. Companies that sell old-fashioned software licenses don't let users do that.
