What is the evidence that the proceeds from contracts gained from this change will actually go towards the people doing the work? That's what I always wonder. After all, Red Hat also recently cut hundreds of jobs, similar to other tech companies. Those other tech companies also have their own just-so stories to try to explain why they're making certain decisions. Certainly most of those other companies don't have a large open source business in the same way as Red Hat. That they're all cutting (in one way or another) but all have different excuses is interesting. I do find it pretty hard to believe that the morality and ethics of properly paying engineers for their work has much, if anything, to do with it though.
