OK, my previous comment was an overstatement. This is what's happening.
- pxc 3y agoThat makes more sense. It's still sad to hear. As an outsider, Red Hat always stood out to me as a truly special company. Too few 'open-source' enterprises have figured out how to profitably develop F/OSS in a principled way, without the 'open core' bait-and-switch. It's just the tech company circle of life, I guess. I wonder what younger tech company might play a similar role as Red Hat has another 30 years from now, and if they even exist yet.
