Story: What vendors really mean by 'open source'
Your response shows...
Your response shows your commercial naivety.
Any company can become a monopoly commercially regardless if it is open source or proprietary based.
Redhat is the most powerful and financially sound open source Linux company, no other company comes close.
Do you think they will stop there, not likely they have share holders and those share holders want dividends.
They also have every right to grow just like any other company and as they become the even larger, customers will more likely purchase from them then a company that is not profitable and likely to fail.
Just commercial reality.
