I was quite upset with the abandonment of CentOS. Now RHEL is pushing even more. But, let's forget the ethical quandary they walked into. As others pointed out, this is self-defeating business direction. Vast majority of government Linux systems in several countries was CentOS and RHEL. Lot of the improvement can be directly traced to FOSS improvements, outside of RHEL. Majority of the recommendations to use Cent & RHEL in government systems came from the users and developers. It is clear today that users & developers (aka customers or consumers) can make serious impact to a brand by simply refusing to do business with the organization that upset them. Pivoting from CentOS/RHEL to another distro is significantly easier then pivoting from a tangible product or store.
