  • Did RedHat add that restriction? GPL requires source to be distributed along with binary, but the distributor can still decide who to distribute things to. If the only way to access binary is through being a paying customer, I don’t see why RedHat can’t say only paying customers can get access to source.

    What’s the GPL violation in that, or did I misunderstand RedHat’s new policy?


  • The free as in freedom principle isn’t violated. GPL stands. So why all the rage? People call RedHat IBMified, what the hell does it even mean? Has IBM done anything to the community?

    Really there is no principle being defended. People’s workflow isn’t even impacted as it stands, they just have to figure out new paths going forward.
