Wondering if RH will let Tower become Open Source.
- KrestenKjaer 11y agoThey have a strong tradition of opensourcing their products. So they most probably will.
- chr15p 11y agoRed Hat has a history of buying closed source software and releasing it as Open Source (KVM, Gluster, Cloudforms etc) so I would expect Tower to be open sourced. Assuming Ansible have the rights to all the code of course and dont license it from someone else of course.
- rch 11y agoIt's a pretty straightforward Django app, so they could open it up without issue. They might be more inclined to roll the functionality into one of their other product lines though.
- gnurag 11y agoGluster has always been an OpenSource project IIRC.
- notacoward 11y agoCorrect. There was a time, pre-acquisition, when some separate management-console bits were not open source, but nobody cared about those bits anyway and now they're long gone. The "GlusterFS" file system part, which is the part everyone except one misguided CEO (now at Docker) cared about, has always been completely open source.
