Red Hat Frees RHN Satellite product

Wootness!

Red Hat has finally opened up their RHN product. I guess they're finally taking that "we're a solutions company, not a software company" thing to heart. Good for them. I know this has been a large part of their revenue model since they started it, so releasing the code must not have been easy for them. I don't think it will hurt them in the long run and hopefully will help because now it would/could/should be possible to integrate stuff like puppet, cfengine, func, cobbler/koan and all sorts of other fun stuff.

Fun times ahead.
