[plug] Just what did Red Hat do?

[Derek Fountain]

I vaguely saw the news from a few weeks back when Red Hat decided they weren't 
going to continue with their free RHL product. Not being a Red Hat user, I 
didn't take much notice at the time. Now I come across a debate on /. which 
seems to imply that Red Hat actually did something quite important. The 
postings seem to suggest that there is no longer a free Red Hat distro, and 
that those who used to use it now have to pay for some form of enterprise 
licence, or change distros.

Is that what happened? Even people who have a RHL box in their spare room as a 
hobbiest thing now have to hand over enterprise level money if they want to 
update it?

If I've got this right, what are RHL based PLUGgers doing? Bailing out to 
debian?
