Novell/progeny to take up redhat legacy services

I shouldn't have said RedHat will GPL all of their code. I have no
documentation to this effect. I believe Eric was correct when he
originally stated that RedHat has always pledged to make the source code
available, but that RedHat has never made an exclusive commitment to any
given license when it comes to code developed in-house.

Sorry for that.
