Redhat goes CLOSED SOURCE? | Chris Titus Tech

Potentially this means that Fedora and CentOS stream do not get timely updates implemented in RHEL.

Canonical must be throwing a party, and I bet SUSE is not hating it either

Redhat goes CLOSED SOURCE?

9 comments

What??? Is there an article rather than a video?
- here's the exact post right from RH themselves
  https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream
  
  Am I missing something? Nothing there says anything about becoming closed source?
Has anyone got a source on this? The video doesn’t have any more info linked…

Red Hat can't go closed source since the source they're distributing is released under the GPL. They're required to distribute code to anyone they distribute binaries to, and they can't stop anyone who has their code from redistributing it.
I remember people on reddit saying the IBM buyout "is no big deal" and IBM will maintain Redhat "in good faith"
