IIRC they even have a tool to "convert" a RHEL system into Oracle. And it's not just RHEL, they shamelessly distribute AWX (upstream for Ansible Tower, a product 100% made by RH from scratch) under a different name without contributing anything back. Oracle is truly a parasite of the open source ecosystem.
The only outcome I see for these "business models" at Oracle, Rocky, Alma, etc. is increasingly less availability of software for us regular users. Say what you might about RH but you can't argue that they put out massive amounts of open source code out there for all to use. Or they did anyway.

- totallywrong 3y agoThanks, I stand corrected. But to my point, they bought something and open sourced it, only to have it used against them.
