CIQ (Rocky Linux), Oracle, and SUSE announce a new trade association dedicated to providing source code for building RHEL compatible distributions.

The formation of OpenELA arises from Red Hat's recent changes to RHEL source code availability.

Jeez when your behaviour is making Oracle look like the good guy. I wonder how Red Hat feels about the outcome of their decision.

I don't think the shareholders care a whole lot unless stuff like this actually costs them customers. I am curious to know what some of the Red Hat developers think about this whole situation, though.

I have a friend who works for them that is currently seeking new employment and she's been with them for 8 years. She loved it there before

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
