Seems like IBM is going to make RHEL closed source. What's everyone's opinion about the move? I feel RHEL is now the evil villain distro of the community.
Jesus christ. They aren't going closed source. It's like all these people are new to Linux and don't understand the GPL, nor the politics behind the license.
they are following the technicalities here. The GPL bans stopping people from spreading the source code, but it never explicitly bans requiring people to accept a EULA that does not allow redistribution in order to buy the product
They are legally in the right but it is still shitty
