Slashdot ☛ How Red Hat Divided the Open Source Community [Ed: The headline here in Slashdot is misleading; this is a Red Hat-sponsored narrative from Red Hat-controlled media. Red Hat betrayed, not divided, the community it had exploited and now tries to dump. Slashdot is corporate slant]
The article delves into the history of Red Hat — and of Linux — before culminating with this quote from McGrath. "I think long gone are the times of that sort of romantic view of hobbyists working in their spare time to build open source. I think there's still room for that — we still have that — but quite a lot of open source is now built from people that are paid full time."
Red Hat likes to point out that 90% of Fortune 500 companies use its services, according to the article. But it also quotes Jonathan Wright, infrastructure team lead at the nonprofit AlmaLinux, as saying that Red Hat played "fast and loose" with the GPL. The newspaper then adds that "For many open source believers, such a threat to its hallowed text isn't forgivable."
