I think what Red Hat did to CentOS is a real shame. But seeing that it's Red Hat, it's not surprising.

True but misses the real point, which is that RH should never have acquired CentOS in the first place.

I don't think I missed the real point. That point was the major part of what I was saying.

Sadly, Red Hat is the Microsoft of the Linux world, and so I grieve for anything they touch.

I've heard similar before. So? The problem with that for RH was what, exactly?

There was White Box Linux, Scientific Linux, PUIAS Linux, etc. And Oracle Linux of course.
