Red Hat cutting back RHEL source availability
The comments there are insightful and actually make me think this is the right move:<p>> Since the earliest days of Linux or MySQL, there were companies set up to profit from others’ contributions. Most recently in Linux, for example, Rocky Linux and Alma Linux both promise “bug for bug compatibility” with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), while contributing nothing toward Red Hat’s success. Indeed, the natural conclusion of these two RHEL clones’ success would be to eliminate their host, leading to their own demise, which is why one person in the Linux space called them the “dirtbags” of open source.<p>> If there are any real parasites, it's Oracle Linux.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Linux" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Linux</a><p>> Oracle Linux (abbreviated OL, formerly known as Oracle Enterprise Linux or OEL) is a Linux distribution packaged and freely distributed by Oracle, available partially under the GNU General Public License since late 2006.[4] <i>It is compiled from Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) source code, replacing Red Hat branding with Oracle's.</i><p>I had no idea that Oracle Linux was essentially RHEL with %s/Red\ Hat/Oracle/g and Oracle has a market cap of $330bn
