Some mix of wrong and right, the exact proportions of which I’ll leave as an exercise to the reader.

    On the one hand they do have a point, and as a Fedora volunteer it saddens me to see that it is affecting the wrong crowd, RH workers, who are receiving directly and indirectly the backlash, mostly snowballed by clickbait and plain disinformation.

    On the other hand saying that redistributing the code you provide under the GPL “doesn’t provide any value” sounds just as dystopian as it seems.

    At this ratez they are just digging themselves deeper at this PR nightmare.

      I know many former SCO employees now working for RedHat. Ironically, now they’re facing some misdirected backlash after IBM was overly grabby about source code that wasn’t proprietary.
