- Dalewyn 3y ago2023 is the year of the freeloaders finally getting demands to pay up or GTFO.
- mistrial9 3y agoas a copyleft supporter + never-been-a-customer, what I see is .. there was an existing agreement with the "community" that spread across access, updates, license terms for the code, license terms for market exchange of services. IBM purchased RH and are now changing those relationships (maybe) staying within bounds of the code side, but definitely changes to the other parts. I guess the there is money that can be extracted from customers for formal business agreements, because the companies that themselves have contractual relationships with their own customers, care about having paperwork intact; similarly with insurance or compliance contracts. At the same time, this is a squeeze play against at least two downstream distros, Alma and Rocky. So the attack is not complete, nor all in one place. I am interested to hear if this is accurate, from others with more skin in the game.
