    Alma and rocky were distributing pure clones, only modifying branding. It’s a scammy business model, and I agree with red hat’s stance, but less so their methods.

      So perhaps Red Hat should not have based their software on something that allows people to do exactly that?

      Or even better, they should stop picking up software from others, modifying a tiny bit, and saying that this new modification can’t be shared.

      This is the real scummy behavior.

      Regarding their brand, deployment software, etc… Couldn’t care less if they don’t distribute and forbid people from sharing that’s 100% their software.
