Re:SUSE Preserves Choice in Enterprise Linux by Forking RHEL by ZeroSolstice on Tuesday July 11, 2023 @01:16PM (#36684067)
Right, but I think the OP's question is why are you using RHEL compat instead of just getting licensed RHEL. In your example a company is already fine with paying full price for major engineering applications why wouldn't you do the same for your underlying OS.

I've seen it done, although small-scale, many years ago.

But yielding that point would mean that RH/IBM would have you over a barrel on pricing. Probably why Suse is forcing the issue.

P.S. and Oracle is piling on ...
