There is a massive difference to building on others (ergo adding value/ideas) and just rebuilding verbatim. I believe that is what they are trying to convey.

@gamingonlinux Those should be weeded out. well, this can either be a response to Oracle Linux literally just taking RHEL downstream and repackaging it and reselling, or a response to NASA actually signing a contract with RockyLinux. either way, they should come up with a way to limit corporate freeloading instead. they are annoyed that Oracle is using it without paying? restrict Oracle, not everyone else. |
@jan Yes there is and I somewhat agree on simply rebadging. However, that is also largely part of the open source community and what licensing allows so again ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Often these downstreams are to simply get around paying licensing for support costs to get it free. So in a way, yeah these downstreams do become total freeloaders. And entirely depending on someone elseโs work is such a bad business model to begin with.
