this is IBM firing its guns straight at liberty minded software

here come the rent seekers: soon enough we will have to pay per character we type. this may seem exaggerated and I really really do hope it stays a gross exaggeration and never actually actually happens.

nonetheless, the trends are here and this is part of them; and we all knew it was a merely matter of time before IBM started to destroy what redhat once was and turned it into more IBM

after a while of starving this project, some 'visionary business founder' is gonna come up with some sort of subscription service to use this software.

If it makes you feel better, feel free to believe what you wrote. But it doesn't make it correct or accurate.

[BSEdlMMldESB]

this is equally applicable to you: to believe you're right regardless of correctness for the sake of feeling well.

but I'm not interested in mere feeling well, I want to BE well. I find it difficult to find other's with whom to engage in productive dialogue so to actually be able to get closer to correctness.

the absolute majority of time I post this opinion, or any close to it, I get downvoted and the discussion I'm looking for gets shut down. Taboos are part of the toolkit.

Do you know IBM has any responsibility in this choice? If you do, the productive thing to do would be to cite your sources. If you don't, it would be to state which assumptions led you to blame IBM's leadership rather than Red Hat's. But you did neither.
