What is Fedora's motivation is promoting using Open Source on a closed
source operating system? This is beyond the FPC to decide as this is a
technical committee, but still a valid question and maybe one that the
board should be investigating.
Because people have to live in a world of compromise and have to
install windows, solaris, etc in virtual environments, etc.. and if
they can't well the company can go buy a closed source solution that
will. Usually when that happens you can pack up all those Fedora,
CentOS, etc systems on your way out :(.
