Oracle responds to Red Hat
Why do you think it would? Oracle rebranding RHEL and selling it as their own distro in direct competition with Red Hat is no doubt the biggest reason they made this change in the first place
They could just charge for-profit companies instead.
There would be ways to get around that, but then again, there are ways to get around the current implementation too
The problem is, they can’t charge much. CIQ/Rocky, have very very cheap contract, and even you charge the vendor, it means all burden are in red hat, and any feature that CIQ/Rocky asked should be fullfilled, and it’s not… align with red hat goals in the end…
Same as Alma/CloudLinux
