I don't see how that is equivalent to what Red Hat is doing. They never restrict your freedom 4 with their EULA. Only availability of future binaries. All already received binaries have their licenses intact and unrestricted, even if y

Monetization of open source only really works if a) the non-commercial usage is restricted, so there's a reason to buy a commercial license, and b) The copyright is assigned to a singular person or entity so there's no confusion a

Red Hat does all that and beyond pretty much better than any other companies out there.

That comparison doesn't work in exactly the way that illustrates Red Hat's compliance with the GPL. Yes, if the consequence of excercising freedom is death(or imprisonment) then you aren't actually free, because killing (or

That's not the consensus and "minimal" compliance is not a thing.

What is the use case for needing to test stuff in RHEL that isn't an Enterprise App where you want/need to buy a license anyway? Like, why do you care about RHEL at all in a way that isn't covered by CentOS Stream?

Red Hat supplies the source to everyone their distributing the binaries to, no violation here.

Why not just test your stuff on CentOS Stream or even just Fedora? RHEL is for big business having bespoke applications; unless you need the stability nobody expects normal open source devs to make RHEL their testbed.

No it cannot. On one side your Red Hat: - takes non commercial open source and does integration and sells support. Also contributes to a megaton of open source projects across all layers of Linux. The other you have the rebuilds: - take Red

Red Hat's EULA does not violate the GPL and what Oracle does is obviously wrong, it's parasitic and in the long term will kill RHEL (and thus also Oracle's version).

This is a total nothing burger with a terrible headline. Google is just deprecating AOSP Apps that neither them nor anyone else is using. There are plenty of better FOSS alternatives than what's in AOSP.

I don't understand why your particular experience matters in this argument. There are billions of people using Android phones, from little kids to grandmas. Essentially none of these people know what the word sysadmin even means. Why d

What? You don't need to sysadmin an Android phone anymore than an iphone while still being able to install anything you want to.

Health wise margarine's much better for you than butter, that's pretty uncontroversial. Partially hydrogenated margarines contain trans fats which are terrible for you, but they've been off the shelves for literal decades now

The consequences of allowing that is seen in the other responses to the GP: lots of useless fluff comments. So yes, please leave that stuff on reddit.

Well, the point is that you can make almost every library a network service if your want to. Anytime a vendor sees a GPL3 library, all they have to do is make a network service out of it and the GPL3 license is powerless. So AGPL3 as the de
