Everything works within a dollar range. IBM bought Redhat for $34B; now, IBM expects returns on that investment. It is similar to the VC game: a business can stay successful generating 10 percent profit with $200M revenue; VCs come in, want huge returns. So, Redhat wants to own all enterprise market, taking over the customers of Oracle Linux, and small/medium businesses and the govt/non profit sector that uses Centos. I have no problems with Redhat going after Oracle Linux's customers. There are many small/medium businesses, research labs, schools that run HPC clusters, who use Centos. The latter set should find another solution.
