Red Hat ends the RHEL clones’ free lunch

This is basically one massive ad for RHEL that also insults open-source maintainers, developers and users.

>Magnus Glantz, principal solution architect at Red Hat, says as much in a post deriding Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux for “making money off others’ hard work.

Cute quote, did RedHat develop the Linux kernel, GNU Software all by itself.

Hi pot, meet kettle.

>All of this big-picture stuff makes the decision to try to save a few dollars seem silly. This is the OS—the foundation for all the applications, databases, etc., that an enterprise runs. Despite its centrality to IT success, the OS is relatively cheap compared to what enterprises pay for other software. The OS seems like the exact wrong place to try to go clone to save relatively little money.

Redhat charges companies steep prices and pays opensource maintainers nothing at all. Cheeky of them to talk about «making money off others' hard work.»

infoworld on the RH payroll now?
