This might be a good time to remember the 2006 Redhat Smoking Gun
Interview:

===========================================================
Red Hat's model works because of the complexity of the technology we
work with. An operating platform has a lot of moving parts, and
customers are willing to pay to be insulated from that complexity.

I don't think you can take one finite element - like Apache - and make
a business out of it [using our model]. You need product complexity.
===========================================================

Signed, sealed, delivered, they're busted. We aren't "muttering" that
it's a monopolization technique, that's a fact for anyone willing to do
a little research.
