People talk about how pre-IBM RedHat was somehow a good player. Perhaps that is true on the Linux side, where there were more eyes. Outside of Linux, I can say they were definitely toxic after acquiring JBoss, locking down previously open-sourced features, shipping bugs that could only be fixed if you had access to the enterprise contract, deleting content from the Wiki that they wanted behind the paywall of the enterprise contract. Even if some of that started pre-acquisition, it certainly accelerated post. It's amazing to me that anyone upstream would lift a finger for RedHat at this point.
