FWIW, there's not one config option on my systems that say `redhat'.
I don't see how proscribing "punishment" is any less paternalistic than working for Red Hat Software, uml.edu, or MIT, where a lot of the research that lead to the development of the Internet originated.
So watch where you're posting from. I personally have a problem with universities and the government sponsored intellectual property tactics, which amount to legalized extortion when they're abused. But that doesn't mean I'm always right. Call me idealistic. I'm as qualified to speak (or write) about Linux-cum-GNU as you are.
