With the acquisition of Ansible, we haven't seen Red Hat releasing the products (Ansible Tower). Is that just a case of they haven't got around to it, or is this a new strategy?
- ghaff 11y agoRed Hat has said it intends to continue to open source technology it acquires. https://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/faq-red-hat-acquires-ansible https://www.redhat.com/en/about/blog/faq-red-hat-acquires-an... (It takes time to do this sort of thing,)
- ludamad 11y agoThere's also the third option of legal limbo (not that I'm familiar here)
- toredash 11y agoThey will open source it, but then can't just publish all the code without reviewing it. What if there is some code there that they can't legally but into the public space? It's legalwork, that shit takes time
- rwmj 11y agoThis is happening. For comparison, it took Red Hat 4 years to open source RHEV, because of (a) legal shit (b) having to rewrite a bunch of .NET code. But it did happen.
