Re: RHEL CentOS git changes. They now make it clear their recent changes were to stop others repackaging into other distributions.I do *get* what they’re trying to say. Simply allowing others super easy access to repack doesn’t make business sense for them.However those two paragraph’s don’t help how they look and directly contradict each other….Literally goes from ”Don’t build from us you freeloaders” To “Building from others is what open source is all about”.https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-commitment-open-source-response-gitcentosorg-changes

@gamingonlinux simple: they want to make business with free code from the community, but they don't want to be treated the same waywell ok

@gamingonlinuxThey wrote that open source is all about competition. I disagree. I think the nature of open source is all about collaboration.

@gamingonlinux I swear that's the whole point of open source, to be able to fork and build upon something to make it better, and to collaborate.

@LinuxGamer @gamingonlinux which anyone can still do. That's what the original individual projects upstream + Fedora + CentOS Stream are for.You couldn't ever collaborate on and contribute to RHEL before either (and in fact now you actually can via CentOS Stream). If you want to fork and build upon Anaconda, or virt-manager or some other RH project you can. You don't need to clone the entire OS to do that.
