Shame on you, RedHat: not only you are trying to transform Linux into Windows (and yourselves into Microsoft), but now you have become spammers too? :-/
It's too bad, but it seems the ethical, principled, open-source championing company whose software we could trust our servers to no longer exists... :-(

Umm.. spamming seems like a much smaller cop-out than what Canonical did with Ubuntu. They integrated Amazon product search into desktop search!35 sem.
+Harshad RJ I agree that this cop-out to Amazon makes it hard to argue for Canonical as an ethical company. But IMHO spamming is definitely more unethical, and combined with an ethically questionable line of other actions coming from RedHat those days (apart from systemd, see for example the recent deals with the greatest enemy of Free Software, that is Microsoft [1], [2]), bodes really ill for the company that was once known as an Open Source champion... I wonder what Eric S. Raymond would say about all that.
