Signing up to RHEL is paying for support. True but missing the mark.
I saw this post as "avoid adware. Donate to freeware/FOSS."
There's plenty of people who donate to free apps. VLC comes to mind.
I don't think it's missing the mark because one big reason to sign with Red Hat is that in many cases RH is the actual developer, not just some technician who does the install.
Yep. Funds directly go to RHEL staff and project dev
Uhhh they are the developers of the distro (so the packaging mechanism and the build infrastructure which builds and installs packages.) But the kernel and the cli tools / libraries and the applications are not written by them.
Bro, look up what Red Hat develops before making such a comment. All that development is only funded because RHEL costs money.
