This sounds like the argument video game companies like to use to justify DRM to reduce piracy. The question is, as they push for more intrusive DRM, how many of those people pirating their games actually converts into paying customers? How many existing customers they piss off who swore they'll never buy their games again?
In red hat case, how many of those freeloading users using alma and rocky linux will actually convert into red hat customer? How many red hat customers they piss off because they also use those distros and decided to transition away from red hat in the future?
- apple4ever 3y agoI believe what they don't realize is that many places use RHEL on critical systems, but Cent/Rocky/Alma on non critical systems, because they don't need support and can't afford it even if they did. Instead of that model, they'll just use Debian/Ubuntu or SUSE, and then RH gets nothing.
