It is a sign that Red Hat is doing good as long as Alan Cox keep quiet and stay. I belive he is that kind of guy that will stand up for his thoughts and that will not go unoticed by the world. Alan might not get fully informed about everything inside Red Hat, but I look at him as a defender of free software inside Red Hat.

If RH had not made a patent pledge, I would not say that Alan has a 'wicked sense of humor', nor would I be 'laughing'. No, I said ‘note’.

They specifically promised this, legally binding and all. I really don't see what the problem is - futhermore I think you should take Red Hats track record into account, have they ever attack an open source developer or project using their patents? No, so why would they start now? Red Hat are pillars of the community and one of strongest supporters we have had historically.
