[Leaplist] eWeek's Jason Brooks with Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst ...

[Bryan J. Smith]

Always good to get it from the horse's mouth, than what

   we champion that. I think, especially Red Hat, as
   the established, clear leader in open source, we
   have a special duty to make sure that we are living
   by the principles and leading by example.'
