> Red Hat bought CentOS, presumably with real $$$,
if I remember right technically centos didn't really exist as an entity that could be bought, Red Hat just hired all the developers (there were only ever 3-4 people working on centos). I would guess they are now working on Centos Streams, or have moved on to other things entirely. Its not like Centos has been killed off either, so it didn't cost a lot and this wont really save anything, it's "just" a change of focus.
Microsoft buying ubuntu would be an interesting (and not impossible) move though.
