Red Hat is still largely independent of IBM.

True, but I think there’s “cancel risk” (or whatever you call it) to IBM were RedHat to do something like sell software to ICE or whatever is an action that people boycott/campaign on.

People were threatening Microsoft because of GitHub’s actions.

I think it’s reasonable that a lawyer at IBM identified this area to message whatever is supposed to be right and talked with RedHat to coordinate signing or whatnot.

I think it’s weird that corporations make these kinds of moral/ethical statements.
