It’s become clear to many that Red Hat’s recent missteps with CentOS and the availability of RHEL source code indicate that it’s fallen from its respected place as “the open organization.” SUSE seems to be poised to benefit from Red Hat’s errors. We connect the dots.

      But you probably trust them for every other project like pipewire and such?

      In practice, Linux is that it is today thanks to Redhat.

        They don’t own pipewire, samba or any other community project. They just help fund and develop them

          Pipewire is developed by a Redhat employee… A lot of projects are including policykit… No they don’t own it, and yeah, they’re all open source and are freely used by the community

          From my experience with development, a lot of these projects primarily succeed because they have a lot of backing. Also, someone needs to start them off, and a lot of these projects are also started by redhat

        Mmm, maybe - but only if you allow that the same can be said for the tens of thousands of other companies and individuals who have contributed.
