So if I use RHEL on WSL, do I still have to pay Red Hat/IBM for a License ? Or is Microsoft including it in WSL.
More curious the anything, me personally I would never use WSL.

Instead of maybe an extra dedicated REHL workspace or machine you could in theory delegate some of that to an already established Windows Server?
