They were bought by IBM a few years back, but even aside from that they’re a corporation and they care about making money above all else.
It looks like Red Hat is doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem.
I don’t think the incessant Fedora shilling is unrelated.
It seems like there isn’t much criticism of the company or their tactics, and I’m curious if any of you think that should change.
Because if they EEE all Linux distribution, they’ll be able to kill off the libre aspects of the software and (in their minds) make even more money.
Revenue is never enough. They always want more.
You’re being overly paranoid.
If you think IBM can be trusted you’re being overly credulous.
I’m not saying they’re to be trusted. But I’m saying they’re not killing their golden goose for at least the near future. Red Hat still operates independently with their own CEO.
