  • IBM/Redhat only HAS to provide their source code to paying customers. That is what they are doing. They will also refuse to do business with entities that use the source to release their own distro.

    This violates the spirit of open-source. IBM benefits from the work of thousands of programmers for free, but refuses to reciprocate. They are de facto close sourcing their code.

    You can also bet of the fact that IBM will decrease their development of Redhat (more layoffs) over time as they emphasis short term profits.
