Sorry, I should have posted some links; lots of people are unaware of these matters.
I don't have time searching for it but it's no problem finding info about it searching on google. Search for Redhat and Taiwan.
To make a long story short: To be able to sell more licenses to mainland China Redhat removed Taiwan’s flag and therefore it's status as independent.
Redhat made some lame excuses trying to claim that it was a mistake but some simple google searching revealed that they removed it on purpose. They have no intensions to put it back.
HP for example, has been fined in a Chinese court for their refusal to remove Taiwan’s status as independent in their software. Microsoft has also refused to give on for Chinas demands.
If even a company like Microsoft stands up for basic democracy Redhat should be required to do the same.
Redhat is an evil company; they sell out even democracy if they can make more bucks on it.
