Centos does the same, isn't Redhat making money ?
CentOS has NEVER been independent of RHEL
Until IBM / Red Hat acquires that fork just like they did CentOS
If RHEL is becoming irrelevant, what distro will replace it for enterprise users?
> No. See CentOS.I'd argue otherwise[1].Also, as of ~2 years ago, CentOS is just another Red Hat supported project.[1]: https://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=RHT
Red Hat never indicated that they had any trouble with CentOS, rather the opposite; their disposition towards it has always been very positive until recently. It would have been like using Ubuntu Server and worrying that Canonical might kill it off and force you to buy Ubuntu Pro; not completely out of the question, but also not something you would expect.
Not sure I particularly trust Redhat after what they did to CentOS.
Probably because the company that provides RHEL does not provide CentOS.
Red Hat/CentOS does this too...
So this is going to be like Redhat -> CentOS ?
