I wonder which of Red Hat's actions make you think that they're trying to create an artificial scarcity. There are hundreds of other ditros. How does Red Hat keep them from creating a quality product?

By not sharing software work that is easily shared. They love to draw from upstream but they share only those parts of their infrastructure that don't threaten scarcity.

Why not list actual complaints? So far you've just been making generalizations. What software are they not sharing? Are they violating the GPL?
