"Every one of "you", unhappy ones, could have created your own rebuild, " A lot of Redhat rebuild projects gave up their very existence to support a single CentOS. Not giving up the secret sauce is about control and power in the hand of a few that have now financially benefited and retain a dictatorship on roadmaps, release information and code. Community here is a consumer of a built OS, but there is no community in how it gets built. And with this centralized power comes the takeover and payouts. If Redhat wasnt trying to block OEL or SL or trying to control CentOS and make it different, they would simply offer RHEL for free on their own. This allows them to wean the world off of CentOS at what is likely to be a glacial pace at first then by Redhat we will have all given up. -- View this message in context: http://centos.1050465.n5.nabble.com/Re-CentOS-CentOS-announce-CentOS-Project-joins-forces-with-Red-Hat-tp5723460p5723799.html Sent from the CentOS mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
