    I am certain that a good portion of their work will make its way into open source projects.

    100% should make its way, that’s open source. Now projects need to be scared when looking at Red Hat code because they might get sued for it.

      RedHat is not going closed source. All the code is still open source. Nobody is getting sued for looking at it.

          I’ve seen them. I understand them. I’m correct.

          Not making their sources generally available for download is NOT the same as closed source. The only ones subject to their new licensing agreements are their paying customers. They are very much pushing against the spirit of FOSS licenses but there is no potential for some Joe on the street to get sued for looking at their source code.

              You think you are talking to a very different person than you actually are.

              Not making their package sources generally available for download is NOT the same as closed source. The only ones subject to their new licensing agreements are their paying customers.
