The announcement
of this program confirms Red Hat's unwavering commitment to its customers and
open source. A key feature of the Open Source Assurance Program is an
Intellectual Property Warranty. The warranty ensures, that in the event that
an infringement issue is identified in Red Hat Enterprise Linux software
code, Red Hat will replace the infringing code. Red Hat's warranty assures
customers that they can use Red Hat Enterprise Linux and related solutions
without interruption. The
warranty is available for all customers having a valid registered
subscription to Red Hat Enterprise Linux or related solutions.
"Enterprise platform deployments are key investments that should be
protected. Red Hat customers have the security of a trusted partner to
guarantee a resolution should there be an issue for continued use." said
Bryan Sims, vice president of Business Development at Red Hat. "We have
provided this guarantee to many of our large enterprise customers and we are
now extending this guarantee to all customers who use Red Hat Enterprise
Linux." The Open Source Now Fund is also a feature of the Open Source
Assurance program. The Fund was created by Red Hat in August to assist
companies with any legal expenses associated with litigation related to the
development of software under the GPL or other open source license and to
prepare educational materials related to such software and litigation. More
