I’m confused on how this is legal? Isn’t Linux based on a license that prevents them from doing that? I was under the understanding that was how CentOS came into being in the first place.
It’s not the Linux kernel that’s being closed, but likely their own contributions, which most likely aren’t all GPL.
And that is dumb. Companies with any sense will veer to debian and distros that are going to be open with their own contributions because gasp - you can write code, put it out under gpl v2 or a permissive license and make money on the support contracts like they were doing.
