Jerry, the RedHat announcement was for the IBM Java Virtural Machine and IBM JDK. This does not rule out anything with regards to Inprise. This is a shot across the bow of Sun. I don't see any reason why RedHat wouldn't include JBuilder Foundation, or any of the products coming from Kylix. RedHat is about choice. They will give their developers what they want in the distribution.

Also, its not the development tools themselves that the future of Inprise is based on. Its the complete front-end/middleware solution. While we're at it, why not through in Interbase for Linux. IBM is a big name for sure, but I'm sure that RedHat isn't about to jump in their back pocket. Be patient, its better to take your time and make a good deal than to rush out and just make a deal.

Besides, after 100,000 downloads in over a week, perhaps RedHat figured everyone already had JBuilder Foundation (TIC)..
