Top Linux and open-source leaders join the Rocky Software Foundation board

So, as I understand it, the background to this:

Redhat earns billions by selling downloads and support of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Centos was a highly compatible equivalent of RHEL, available without any hassle.

Redhat then decided that Centos would become a beta test distro with newer software then RHEL, probably including more bugs, incompatibilities and new things that users and admins need to learn.

Rocky linux and Alma Linux then became the main options for people who want a Redhat-derivative distro.
