Absolutely no excuse that this happened, but I believe the point he is trying to make is that they didn't make any money on it. Still a shitty thing to let happen, and it should simply never have happened at all, but it's still better than if they had sold it and made a profit, I guess.

On a related note, the website cheat.sh is also a great resource. Just curl it with the command you want to learn about as the endpoint.

For example, if I want to learn about grep, just open a terminal and

$ curl cheat.sh/grep

And a short and sweet description with examples will be returned.

Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta. Pretty much all the big tech companies really need a visit from the FTC.

A little over a week ago, SUSE also announced they would be releasing their own binary compatible RHEL clone with $10 million of backing. So it looks like they were planning to take advantage of this uproar from the beginning.

I don't think the shareholders care a whole lot unless stuff like this actually costs them customers. I am curious to know what some of the Red Hat developers think about this whole situation, though.

 

CIQ (Rocky Linux), Oracle, and SUSE announce a new trade association dedicated to providing source code for building RHEL compatible distributions.

The formation of OpenELA arises from Red Hat's recent changes to RHEL source code availability.
