Re: Not good for public perception of company.

While the may have and use proprietary software internally, Redhat does not publish any proprietary software in its products. The fedora description reads...
The Fedora Project is a Red Hat sponsored and community-supported open source project with the goal of working with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from free software.

Its pretty annoying that they do not provide a patent encumbered mp3 player in fedora, but that is indicative of a commitment to FOSS. Also indicative is the fact that CentOS exists. CentOS means that RedHat has its money where its mouth is.

By your analogy Oracle would be a great Open Source company. After all, you will find them very willing to provide you with a FOSS operating system on which to run their very proprietary database.

The question is what kind of company is MedSphere. They tout themselves as a "RedHat" but they sometimes seem to be an "Oracle". I am hoping for a "RedHat" thats what the community needs.
