[lug] Red Hat $ 217/share long or short?

[Rob Mohr]

I am stupid.  Linux is free.  Yes, multiple distributions.  Why or what in
the market is bidding Red Hat to $ 217 per share?  Is it going to stay at
that level?  

Sure it was offered as an ipo at what $ 60?  But is there a rationale to
short this stock, ie to buy a put?

I thought Linux is a free OS.
