Has Red Hat commissioned a poll from Penn, Schoen & Berland Ass. Inc.?:
http://www.mit.edu/~mherdeg/pushpoll/
If not, then who is it that's paying for this Red Hat marketing data, and why is it implying there's about to be a patent cross-licensing agreement between Red Hat and Microsoft?
Is there?

Are you kidding me?
Who would benefit more from a push poll implying that Red Hat violates Microsoft patents -- Red Hat or Microsoft?
IANAL, and I can't speak for the company from a legal perspective -- but come on. This one is common sense.

I suspected as much, but didn't want to presume.
Does Matthew Szulik read this list? What's the easiest way to bring this poll to his attention? I feel he aught to know what's going on. (I couldn't find a corresponding "Red Hat Marketing" list.)
