Which threats users to had their subscription cancelled when they share the source code according to GPL.
Yeah. I agree with ya there, Red Hat screwed over Alma and Rocky with that decision. I can see the utility of those two distros for testing before committing to RHEL.
Plus, if Oracle has room to try to be the “good guys”, you’ve really screwed up
Nobody was “testing” rhel by using Rocky or Alma, they just didn’t want to pay for it. I mean you can test actual rhel for free!
Nah. Deploy Rocky or Alma in mass. Have RHEL for a few machines. When you got a problem, reproduce it in RHEL and call support.
That sounds pretty exploitative to me, and exactly the kind of use case that red hat wouldn’t want to support.
Think about what “bug for bug compatibility” actually means, they’re promising not to make any fixes or contribute to the build in any way!
I agree. It was told by my professor. He said "industry norm".
