Guess it would work more like Fedora -> Redhat Enterprise Linux. You might be right about the profits, I have no idea.. The "open core" model is horrible IMO.

The "open core" model is horrible IMO. It pits the open source version and the commercial version againts each other. What happens when someone would like to contribute features already planned for the commercial version.. ?
- dschiptsov 12y agoRedhat has really clever model, btw. Once, in times of RHEL3 and 4 they have tried to maintain zillion patches against vanilla kernel to be "Enterprise Linux", you know, so you could run Oracle cheap (a hot topic in that time). Then they have realized, that it is much smarter to give the patches to the mainstream, so everyone will benefit. Fedora became a test-bed for a new technologies, to amortize the too rapid changes (systemd and other crap, you know), so they could provide stable and compatible RHEL versions for existing customers. And Redhat is a service, not the code company.
