Am I following this right?
#RedHat tried to extinguish #RockyLinux and #AlmaLinux by introducing some socially-dubious license terms to the RHEL sources. Rocky, confident in a legal path forward, has vowed to continue unabated; Alma is considering their options but not going anywhere. Meanwhile, Oracle took the opportunity to loudly reassert its free RHEL clone, and now #SUSE has committed $10M to launching an entirely _new_ RHEL fork!
Whatever IBM hoped to accomplish, surely it wasn't this. 🍿
