You're right I did miss the details. Sorry for the inaccurate rant. Good for them. We all benefit from more players in this space, instead of just a bunch of RHEL clones.

You are speaking like somebody from an actual community. That definitely shows you missed the drama.

You are supposed to say that we all have a right to an “exact” unpaid replica of the full RHEL distribution that we will explicitly not modify or improve in any way but instead directly commercialize and monetize. We have the right to do this because the above behaviour embodies “the spirit of Open Source”. If Red Hat tries to stop us, it is because THEY are evil and greedy.
