I subscribe (pay) for a lot of things personally. Music, Movies, Anti Virus, VPN, Storage, etc. But for my business, I do not want to pay Red Hat, Zimbra, or Google Workspace. Why ? Because the general rule seems to be Oh! You are an individual, we will offer you affordable/free service What! You are a business, we will offer you extremely 'unaffordable' service. Because being a 'business' by default means you have a 'lot' of money to waste. Just my two cents. --- Lee On Fri, Jul 21, 2023 at 5:43 AM Gordon Messmer <gordon.messmer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 2023-07-20 04:36, Itamar Reis Peixoto wrote: > > > > my predict is that they will continue as a #rebuilder / #freeloader, > > writing software is a hard work. > > #offensive terms to the community :-), hide hat wrote it. > > > No, they didn't. > > That term was bandied about on social media by people who were > speculating about the reasoning behind discontinuing the practice of > debranding and publishing packages from RHEL minor releases. > > Mike McGrath responded to the use of that term by social media > personalities to explain that the only group that Red Hat (for better or > worse) considers freeloaders are large businesses who keep a small > number of licensed RHEL systems so that when they have problems in their > production network (which isn't running RHEL), they can reproduce the > problem on RHEL and ask Red Hat for support.
