They are not creating an “open standard” because the standard is “RHEL compatible”. Do you consider RHEL an open standard?

If they were making an open standard, this would be great. That is not what they are doing. What they are doing is collaborating on the task of exactly duplicating whatever RHEL is doing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
