Where the concept is the exploitation of thousands of volunteers while repackaging their work. (I know that RedHat sponsors some people, sometimes to the detriment of projects, but a lot of it is not sponsored, especially when RedHat established itself.)

So, what, is HN against open source now?

More accurate to say that VC and the “startup ideology” has always been at the core of HN - it just so happened that aligned with OSS ideology during the ZIRP era.

Red Hat pays more people to work on open source than any other company I'm aware of. I am one of these people. I challenge you to find a single open source project included in a Red Hat product that doesn't contain contributions from Red Hat employees. Maybe a few exist, but the vast majority include Red Hat contributions, because we contribute all over the open source ecosystem.
