It's all open source. If they do that it will just get forked, I don't really see the issue.
keep telling yourself that. if it was 2006 I would say you're right, but 20 years of corporate neglect and abuse has caused many developers to age out and not really give a shit anymore.
young devs don't want to just "fork it", they want to make a better product. to sell it. to IBM (or entities like them).
so yeah. you keep trusting that IBM bear in the corner won't maul you when you take a nap.
I'll stick with docker, the solution that outright refused to bend a knee to the worse corporate slaver in modern history.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have faith in the open-source community. So far that's turned out pretty well.
