I don’t get why big companys are afraid of open source software.
I know that monetizing open source is hard but in exchange they would have 8 billion programmers ready, for free!
Even if they do like redhat , as controversial as it is right now, they would be better off than just closing the source.
I would be willing to pay to have the license to modify my own software even if I couldn’t redistribute it afterwards.
If you lump all “open source” software into one pile it’s hard to discuss this topic at all as licenses are widely different.
The one that redhat uses, I don’t know the name
Redhat uses a massive variety of open source software. They package entire operating systems.
It really varies.
