Seems like IBM is going to make RHEL closed source. What’s everyone’s opinion about the move? I feel RHEL is now the evil villain distro of the community.

    They’re becoming source available

    Because you mentioned the GPL:

    they are following the technicalities here. The GPL bans stopping people from spreading the source code, but it never explicitly bans requiring people to accept a EULA that does not allow redistribution in order to buy the product

    They are legally in the right but it is still shitty
