Red Hat, once friend and sponsor to downstream RHEL rebuilds, recently decided they no longer value such downstream projects; and has taken the unprecedented step of removing public access to their source code in a bid to stamp them out.
I prepared a serious video analysing the reasons, the impacts, and the morality of this action. This... isn't that video. This somehow felt more appropriate to the circumstances we find ourselves in.
