- kmlben65 4y agothat's a "non issue" - commercial companies are vendor-locked with cloud on conscious decision so it doesnt matter - they pay for everything (an sometimes multiple times), and any orgs that treasure open source philosophy either forking or not touching anything of redhat with a long pole.

- markkrj 4y agoThat's not true. There are projects which are not maintained by RH. Also, anybody could have registered that name before RH... You could have done so.

- jnardiello 4y agoMate, I've been working in this space for long enough to know exactly what I'm talking about. Podman, Buildah, Skopeo and Crun are ALL redhat projects. OSS = Open code (ok) + Open Governance (not ok). In the "containers" org there are currently 23 maintainers, 99% RedHat employees (with a few indies - you always want students contributing for free). This is a great example of enterprise OSS shitshow, whereas a large org register a fake org on github with an intended "open" name - but keep close control on the governance of projects and tries to push (implicitly) its technological stack as a standard. Disclaimer: I fucking hate enterprise vendors.
