content: While I agree with you that it's stupid compared to even free open source projects, offering image-hosting, video-hosting, messaging, and other stuff definitely qualifies as a "premium" service to me in the sense that one should raise an eyebrow at the fact that it's offered for free. Now as to the comparison - Linux is not run by a publicly-traded for-profit company. You could argue that Redhat has huge influence over the way it develops in the enterprise world, but I'm pretty confident that if they took a wrong turn the nature of linux would just let companies ditch them even faster than they're ditching AIX now.
