@nixCraft modularization is the next thing. Take the basics and scale from there. Micro open-source anyone?

@Retreival9096 @nixCraft It's sad to see fellow Red Hatter having to deal with this.

@nixCraft While I was working at IBM, I was told that IBM was short for "Idiots Become Managers."

I had to read up a fair bit about how this decision by IBM might affect the HPC cluster that I run using Rocky Linux. Rocky Linux says its difficult for them but they will get around this impediment. Similarly for Alma Linux. Personally though, and after reading much opinion on the topic, and eventually reading some opinions of real lawyers, it appears what they are doing is legally not violating the GPL, but it IS putting their finger up to the intent and spirit of the GPL. Sorta like "We are going to do this and you can't legally stop us". At home my wife and I run Debian. (Please don't get me started on systemd!)

@nixCraft my first 15 professional years were spent working for #ibm.

None of this has been a surprise to anyone who grew up in the company 😢

Not quite the case. Rollercoasters are usually a fun ride.
But then I didn't enter this particular ride on my own will... 😩
