| Red Hat Removes Flags by Reknamorken at 4:30 pm EDT, Oct 17, 2002 | |||
[ Originally from Hijexx ] After being castigated over removing Taiwan's flag from KDE files in order to make its product acceptable to the government of the People's Republic of China, Red Hat has decided not to display any countries' flags, period. "'Red Hat as a global company respects the rights of all open source users. To avoid potential political inflammation, we feel it is best to not display any flags at this time.'" ... Props to Red Hat for taking small steps towards ending nationalism. Take away all the flags and what are you left with? No symbolism to shroud yourself in, no image to associate with, just software. /me likes this concept. | |||
