Red Hat pitching proprietary lock-in as “open”

17
Ah, how the mighty have fallen. In what must have been gross oversight, Red Hat is pitching proprietary software on its website under the banner of “No vendor lock-in.” The way Red Hat and IBM make it appear, simply running one’s software on an open platform like Linux magically removes the proprietary lock-in of the application.
I hate to say this, Red Hat, but it just doesn’t work that way. Last time I checked, IBM’s Lotus Domino is proprietary software and running it on Linux hasn’t changed that fact.
