RedHat revenues likely aren't enough to keep all of half-IBM afloat. It's vaguely possible that IBM could go into Chapter 7 if things go badly enough. That's the worst-case scenario I was speaking to.
- indigodaddy 6y agoOk I get that part, but surely Red Hat/RHEL itself wouldn’t perish as a result?
- bleepblorp 6y agoIf a company goes into chapter 7, the entire company is disbanded and its assets are sold off. In that scenario, Red Hat, as a division of IBM, would cease to exist.
