MODERATORS
While I agree that nobody is entitled to the works of others, I find it both disingenuous and against the spirit of FOSS for Red Hat to lock its code behind a paywall just because it can still use the GPL due to some somewhat sneaky legal maneuvering so it can still call it "open source" by a very narrow technicality. At this point, why even bother? It's all just so slimy.
