From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If IBM makes redhat do something that greedy and stupid (it'd be more likely to happen with a distribution like fedora or centos than userland components), we have plenty of existing infrastructure to fall back on.

I mean, if they make an actual workstation distro and kill systemd's real FOSS nature, everyone else will have to spend some time rebuilding their distros with other init systems. That'll be quite a sabotage.
