Red Hat paywalled their knowledge base years ago. It was unpopular inside the company, but seen as required to respond to Oracle's wholesale ripping off of the content.

  I was at Red Hat at the time. It was Oracle who ripped off Red Hat’s knowledge base content for their own knowledge base. IBM was not selling a RHEL clone at the time and had no reason to rip off the knowledge base. This was over 10 years ago.

    Thanks. So another thing to add "Why we hate Oracle' list.

      Red Hat put their kernel source behind a paywall after getting bought by IBM, so that was a thing that happened. Also Oracle sucks. :)
