| Testimony of Red Hat CEO Matt Szulik before the US Senate |

Open source software arose because of a lack of alternatives that
allowed the individual to choose the best tool for the job. Over
the past 5 years, projects created by Red Hat and the open source
community have become solutions of choice in areas of
standards-based Internet software development, areas that the
monopolist does not yet control.
The growth of the Linux operating system is an example of this
acceptance. The Apache web server is another, it now holds a
market-leading position.
