Red Hat’s recent decision to restrict the source code for its enterprise Linux build has led open-source projects big and small to come up with creative strategies to continue to serve their users.
Whenever you use “RedHat”, replace it with “IBM”, as that’s who they really are now. Tech companies to avoid (imho) are IBM and Oracle, both of who have linux distros.
Until Canonical or SUSE become evil (unlikely), or are bought by an industry evil, then you’re better off.
I mean, in my eyes Canonical is already evil. SUSE is pretty nice right now, but like I said, them being nice is nothing but a luxury. There’s no guarantee it wont happen, and you could probably argue it’s fated to happen eventually.
