> Similar to Amazon/AWS RedHat seems to be moving to Open Source of convenience, where you have portions of your software Open Source when it helps your business, and not so much if it does not. I guess it’s quite pragmatic from the short- and even medium-term perspective, although it likely may become well poisoning in the long term. There used to be an understanding that since Red Hat is making a lot of buck on the shoulders of contributors making FOSS available, they have an obligation of giving a considerable amount of goodwill in return. It looks like they are now pulling a Reddit, but making it a long game. I mean, right now it looks like they are protecting their business (you really want to get paid for having to backport fixes to some library which has been EOLed and forgotten by its upstream half a decade ago, and for all stability promises no vendor is giving!), but it’s opening a way to shittier practices, if you get my drift.
