Extremely misleading title. Many people will think the code will be made private but instead someone is making the company private. Taking a company private isn't that bad inherently. Also that guy owns 77% already. Even with it being public, he makes the calls anyway. If you ask me, he sees in red hats decisions a market opportunity to take their spot.

To your point, every other comment seems to be about the idea of SUSE closing it's source code.

When I was in 9th grade, I worked in a company that sold office material and we had random people working in to get their driver's license. That is when I learned, people can read but won't read. Not even only a sign.

I am not surprised.

Closed SUSE

Well, it's about SUSE not OpenSUSE.

Not good

This is a good thing though, since they now can focus on longterm visions and investments, instead of having to justify everything to the shareholders which want profits in every quarter...

Enshittification won't take long now.

After Red Hat now that...

It's about delisting from stockexchange, not about proprietization of source code.
