    Dafuq you talking about, son? RedHat isn’t selling FOSS as a product. They are essentially selling enterprise support for a specific collection of packages that are rolled into a Linux Distribution the distribute themselves, and is then backed with a slew of SLA and SLO contracts that back it. On top of that, their own tooling which they do open source is included with thos things. Why do you think Alma exists at all?

      They do sell the specific collection, and even more so updates, as a product and restrict redistribution of that product by their customers.

      They do their upstream development in the open which is not required but mighty nice of them.
