IMHO it is the same in all cases. It's about credit. Whether you'd keep the command line redhat-config-foo on a non RH system is a different matter altogether.
Right, but I'm not doing advertising for a corporation by having apache, or gnu or berkeley in the reqs.
Actually Apache is a corporation. MySQL is a business, UC Berkeley pretty much is, sendmail is.
UC Berkeley is a school, just like duke - non-profit organizations, Apache is Apache Software Foundation, I believe, and that's also a non-profit.
Mysql and sendmail are business, You're entirely correct, but sendmail was a program before it was a company-oriented one, iirc. and mysql has already had trademark trouble.
But neither of those are companies that directly compete with red hat in the distro field, I really would be curious about novell-config-foo being included in red hat enterprise linux, or even in fedora core.
