Much like GPLv3 was written to counter tivoization, I’d love a GPLv4 to kill what RedHat is doing before they do irreparable the entire free software ecosystem.
I'd also like to ask, what damage do you see this change in behavior doing to free software ecosystem ?
Is literally the only thing that would make people happy is to give away RHEL for free for people to run their production servers on?
What changes have they made to RHEL that isn't available?
I believe that would be actuall evidence of gpl non compliance, not this dismisive current interpretation that people have.
I don't think that most people who commented have a subscription.
I think this is what I mean, yes.
The rhel trees are synced from the centos trees. If centos git trees couldnt build, rhel couldnt build. Afaics the only time this seems to be in conflict is for important and critical cve's , which are built on a rhel specific branch. After package release these branches are merged with centos, and the local rhel branches deleted and business continues as normal.
This is an attempt not to break embargo agreements with researchers who ask for it.
Despite every attempt by Red Hat employees to call out CentOS Stream as being "Red Hat sources", it is not. If they wish to participate in the open source ecosystem, they can't coerce customers (paid or not) into a particular (very proprietary) usage pattern with their software. No matter how many tens/hundreds/thousands of employees they hire to code for open source projects.
