In theory yes, but you have to be pretty careful with that too. I work for a small engine repair shop, and we have stuff coming in all the time that people swear to God only ever runs ethanol free. Then when we test the gas, we find ethanol and water.

We talked to some gas truck drivers, and apparently there is a lot of cross contamination, so even if you're pumping out of an ethanol free pump, you might still be getting ethanol. We're telling people that it's still best practice to empty your tank and run the engine dry if you're not going to use the equipment for a while.

Absolutely no excuse that this happened, but I believe the point he is trying to make is that they didn't make any money on it. Still a shitty thing to let happen, and it should simply never have happened at all, but it's still better than if they had sold it and made a profit, I guess.

On a related note, the website cheat.sh is also a great resource. Just curl it with the command you want to learn about as the endpoint.

For example, if I want to learn about grep, just open a terminal and

$ curl cheat.sh/grep

And a short and sweet description with examples will be returned.

A little over a week ago, SUSE also announced they would be releasing their own binary compatible RHEL clone with $10 million of backing. So it looks like they were planning to take advantage of this uproar from the beginning.

I don't think the shareholders care a whole lot unless stuff like this actually costs them customers. I am curious to know what some of the Red Hat developers think about this whole situation, though.
