=> ↺ Linux ‘clone wars’ have begun as Red Hat says it’s committed to open source
Red Hat has long been one of the leading enterprise vendors for the Linux operating system. The company’s Red Hat Enterprise Linux (commonly known as RHEL) has been tremendously successful bringing in billions of dollars to Red Hat and its parent IBM.
Linux is open source, which means that source code should be open and shared, which is also true for Linux enterprise distributions like RHEL. The open nature has enabled a vibrant ecosystem of so-called “RHEL clones” over the years that have taken the open-source code binaries used to build RHEL and repackaged them as their own distributions. Among the many clones is Oracle Linux, which got its start in 2006.
