    You are missing the point. More contributions to Linux helps RHEL more than copy-cat re-builds that contribute nothing.

      More contributions to Linux from parties other than RHEL don’t help RHEL. That’s literally the view they have taken since their announcement.

        That is not what they said at all. They said pure bug-for-bug compatible rebuilds don’t help RHEL. Which is undeniably true.

          Just because they said that they don’t think RHEL clones contribute to the RHEL ecosystem doesn’t mean that it is entirely true. Are you new to PR speak?

            Yet they consistently say that other contributions to Linux are very welcome and help RHEL, CentOS stream and everyone else. I think you have a strong case of selective memory and reading comprehension that only sees what fits into your pre-determined world-view 😜

              Yes. What they say and their actions are entirely contradictory in my own warped view.

              But good thing am not the only one who seems to think so 🤪 as clearly Oracle and SUSE agree with this view.

                If one thing has always been true, it is that Oracle will always chose the wrong side of history no matter what.

                Be careful who your allies are 😬

                  I don’t really care that much for Oracle’s role in Linux but IBM’s Red Hat is clearly the drunk guy here.

          I think maybe to point out that SUSE is already the second largest enterprise Linux provider in the market. They already studied RHEL code, this would have been a gentleman’s agreement broken not to outright copy each other. RHEL will easily copy SLES improvements and incorporate it into their own code, but SUSE will gain marketshare.
