Red Hat questioned over use of SixApart blogware

Linux company Red Hat, allegedly a champion of the open source community, is using SixApart’s proprietary blogware MovableType and some bloggers don’t like it, according to a thread at the Red Hat people blog, an official Red Hat blog.

Red Hat’s Mark Cox writes that “It is ironic that (Red Hat) eschews Open Source software when it comes to using software itself”.

Amusingly for readers, the comments develop into a “which is better”argument with a contribution from SixApart’s Anil Dash that states that SixApart is a better supporter of Open Source than the Open Source WordPress, and that Movable Type is better than WordPress in terms of cost, spam protection and security. His comments (on the MT powered blog) are followed by a long piece of incest comment spam :-)
