I think its important in this time not to be wary but not go full on tin foil hat. This is a sensitive time,
and reacting in a crazed manor or speculating isnt going to do ANYONE good.
Much love all, keep level heads.

Eclipse, Linux (top 5 companies in term of kernel contributions), MQTT

It is not perfect but it is a lot of projects and contributions to FOSS.

When a company is buying another company, it is always a new story. We
can't know in advance what would be the organization for both entities.
Red Hat could have a lot of autonomy, or not. IBM could be able to get
only some products for them and let the rest for Red Hat as usual.
It is difficult to predict this kind of things. The best thing to do is
to wait more news from Red Hat about it. And see more concrete actions
from them.
