What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.
My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.
What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?
I thought the reasoning why it’s legal is that RHEL only gets distributed to people who sign a contract which forbids redistribution: So while the GPL gives them the right to distribute, the contract takes precedence and they are unable to share the code
I think they really nitpick it, to where it may not violate it directly but violates the spirit. If you redistribute they’ll cancel your subscription. You “can” do it.
