| Red Hat is excited that the Obama administration recognizes the value of open
| source beyond software. Open source principles are changing how we learn, how
| we share information, how developers create, and how companies do business.
| Now it has the opportunity to change our government.

| dumped its proprietary UNIX heritage (AIX, HP UX, Solaris) for the freedom,
| flexibility, and performance of Linux.
