The bold parts include a false claim; i.e. Red Hat made RHEL paid..
Isn’t it? And for distro devs access to the source code is the only thing that matters. I am quite sure it is paid.
There’s no fault at being cautious, but this should never lead us towards toxic behavior.
I agree but I think you are the toxic one here. You boldly accuse a kinda new Linux user that asks a question in sharing misinformation and being toxic. I kinda get the first part but the second? You either don’t know what toxicity is or you’re just being toxic.
