I wonder why the CentOS people agreed to this and did not walk away.
Does red hat own the CentOS brand?
- kcb 6y agoMost of the "CentOS Governing Board" are Red Hat employees.
- IceWreck 6y agoYes. RedHat bought the CentOS brand afew years ago
- marcinzm 6y ago>I wonder why the CentOS people agreed to this and did not walk away. Cynical answer of money aside, someone else mentioned the project was running into resource issues so they may have chosen RedHat over a slow inevitable death.
- freedomben 6y agoI suspect this too. I've been watching the community response to Rocky and it's mind blowing. hundreds and hundreds of volunteers spring up. How come these people didn't help with CentOS? AFAIK it's been like two or three people doing almost all of the maintenance. I'm not casting blame, I haven't helped much with CentOS either besides maintaining some small packages. But it's interesting to think about.

- nobody9999 6y agoRedHat hired[0] all the CentOS developers/maintainers almost seven years ago. [0] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-January/020100.html https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-Janu...
