They were bought by IBM a few years back, but even aside from that they’re a corporation and they care about making money above all else.

It looks like Red Hat is doing its damnedest to consolidate as much power for themselves within the Linux ecosystem.

I don’t think the incessant Fedora shilling is unrelated.

It seems like there isn’t much criticism of the company or their tactics, and I’m curious if any of you think that should change.

Well we either allow companies to earn a reputation (in which case those companies which helped the Nazis are permanently stained)

Or reputation decays over time (in which companies have to earn our trust every day)

Either way is valid and consistent.
