    The discussion of Red Hat is overkill for the number of links and discussions.

    For people who do not maintain or are not admin for RHEL clone servers, there seems to be an element of addicted to outrage going on, feigning being upset so they can be part of the trend without providing solutions.

    If IBM is committed to changing to a paid source available model, all of this talk and outrage is moot.

      Agreed. Its news for sure, and maybe it speeks to some broader topics (like if the wider linux community wants things what RHEL offers, how would we go about doing that), but this isn’t some Judas kiss to the Linux world.

      I am contributing to the topic though, because people are taking it to an extreme looking at even avoiding Fedora, the community ran distro, that have nothing to do in this decision.

        Some people, maybe a lot of people, do not want a solution, they want to follow the trend and feed their fix of being angry for things don’t make the slightest difference in how they live their life outside of online comment sections.

      Sorry about you getting a duplicate. I was trying to cross post just to places where I saw incorrectly that RedHat was going closed source.
