I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

The source can be open, just not easy to access…send an email and in 30 days they provide it, they are not obligated to have everything available instantly as they do now or provide an infrastructure to make life easy for community projects.
They could also mix in proprietary code to make things more awkward afaik.
I’d bear in mind in-house made applications RH provide include systemd, wayland, pipewire & gnome…as long as your distro and use case don’t depend on any of these, there’s no need to worry.
I guess that makes sense, didn’t figure that. I thought it would just mean “code read only to outsiders”, but yea they could make life difficult for people.
Ok so… More corporate enshitification. While I don’t know shit about RH, it sounds like the only way is to cut them off, like we did with Reddit.
