We look at Advanced Server as a comprehensive offering, not software.
Kevin, our CFO, knows that going too deep with the street just confuses
them. Advanced Server is an OS, an RHN channel, and Enterprise level
support (per customer there may be other components - I'm not sure). So
technically no one _can_ replicate Red Hat Advanced Server the offering,
but the bits are free (as in speech) for the taking.
