So this feels totally out of left field to me.
But if you have enough resources to run two distros, then why not.

The reasonable inference is that Red Hat close-sourced the OS in order to become more profitable. The increased profitability would have put SUSE at a relative disadvantage. This action by SUSE to fork RHEL maintains the status quo that existed between them before Red Hat closed-sourced RHEL.
I’ve just started reading about this. I have a lot of respect for both Red Hat and Suse. I hope as part of this collaboration also continues via CentOSStream though I am unsure if the move is to encourage the community to contribute on Suse’s community version rather than CentOSStream. Let’s see how this goes, I guess.
Watch this space…
The fact that there were ever clones was rather bonkers to me to begin with. It will be interesting what happens from all of this.
I think it is weird that SUSE is doing this and going on attack but we’ll see what happens. I guess that is what happens with a new CEO in charge.
However, Oracle is still trash in my opinion. People should not be giving them any attention regarding Open Source. They dont care about openness, imo
