I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

    People use rocky/centos because they don’t want to deal with the hassles of licensing while also keeping the door open to an upgrade to RHEL if needed. I think this will be a net positive for Debian and Debian-based distros thanks to enterprise infra switching to Ubuntu which offers this (free use and an upgrade path to full compliance/commercial support.

    Them closing up completely undermines their UVP.

      Doesn’t Canonical hold the updates (also security ones) for days if you don’t have the “pro” license?
