And without the GPL and all the code that came with it, there would be no RH. Rocky is making use of the same legal protection that RH is. Yes, RH spends more on development but they are doing so using the tools and existing codebase given to them, for free, by others.

Rocky is doing something no different than what RH is doing, and if this is problematic for RH's hopes of sucking in a few $B, that's more a problem with RH's business model than it is Rocky's. They have made $Bs selling support for free software, some large part of which they didn't author, and now they want to squeeze the entire ecosystem for more.

I have zero sympathy for RH and fully support Rocky's approach here. This is a problem of RH's own creation and trying to deflect the blame onto Rocky is absurd.
