Red Hat says hi.
- Entinel 4y agoRed Hat uses a very similar business model providing managed enterprise features on top of open source.
- josephcsible 4y agoWhat software programs or features does Red Hat not make available under a FOSS license?
- teddyh 4y agoThey’re called “IBM” now.
- josephcsible 4y agoThey wouldn't have gotten acquired by IBM if they couldn't make a profit.
- teddyh 4y agoIBM could use the Red Hat Enterprise customer base to sell consulting services to. If the projected profits from consulting is large enough, no profits from Red Hat is needed.
