Story: Sun's plans...and how they could go wrong

Red Hat = Linux AND Red Hat not = Linux ???
Recent articles pointed out that Schwartz was angered by the media's tendency to equate Linux with Red Hat. For example:
Forbes' "Red Hat = Linux" Spin Angers Sun Microsystems COO
http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php/id;1858856115;fp;2;fpid;1
According to Schwartz:
"Red Hat is not linux, despite what they say, and despite what the media (and IBM's ads) seem to conflate."

Now we are supposed to understand that part of Sun's plan is
Step No. 1: Make the argument that Linux equals Red Hat.
Seems a bit "difficult" to believably make Linux = Red Hat, while trying to make the media stop conflating Linux as Red Hat.
