That sounds very accusatory to me. It’s just worded as a question.
- edoceo 6y agoDon't sound accusatory to me and only requires a one word response: No Just mentioning Google or money does not an accusation make.

- falcolas 6y agoGiven: 1) how broadly Google spreads its money to open source projects to get its products set as defaults 2) that Redhat is a private company who does not disclose their funding sources I think it's a perfectly reasonable question, given the situation (Google product set as a default in an open source project).
- wtallis 6y ago> that Redhat is a private company who does not disclose their funding sources Red Hat's IPO was in 1999, and they were bought by IBM in 2019.
