Red Hat Inc. on Tuesday will follow the lead of Hewlett-Packard Co. and Novell Inc. by announcing a plan to protect its enterprise Linux customers.
The news comes just as the Linux and open-source faithful are gathering here for the annual LinuxWorld conference and expo this week.
The plan, to be known as the Open Source Assurance Plan, is designed to protect customers' Linux investments and ensure they are legally able to continue to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux without any interruption.
