Didn't Red Hat manage to pay their employees for Linux development and make a profit prior to IBM acquiring them?

- izacus 3y agoYes, but at time the community didn't just resell their work at lower prices. Now the profiteers appeared and they're addressing that problem. Blaming IBM is a conspiracy theory that's more copium than anything else.
- josephcsible 3y ago> at time the community didn't just resell their work at lower prices. That's because at the time, CentOS was still alive.
- tm-guimaraes 3y agoCentOS existed before it was bought and shutdown. (There is something called CentOS Stream today, but it’s a completely different product with completely different purpose) All the “rebuilders” redhat is complaining are just CentOS folks continuing to do their thing after their name was bought. So this is almost as old as redhat. Not “a new treat”
