  ROFLMAO ....you ask someone to "try to keep to the subject"?  You're =
as usual
  trying to divert & make up subjects via changing thread titles to suit =
your
  position.

  You chose the Red Hat Distribution as "linux" not anyone else.=20
  You then used 3'rd party applications (which run on multiple OS'es) as =
examples
  where there are vulnerabilites in "linux".
  You then claimed that becuase Red Hat bundles those applications, =
somehow RH
  gained the copyright to those programs.=20
  You have then totally failed to explain why such a thing is not =
applicable to
  Microsoft OS'es.

  However your evasion of simple questions is so noticeable that you =
must have
  some real problems explaining if MS is going to try & seize the =
copyright of
  any competing products the EU might require MS bundles along with =
Windows.
