This is nonsense. Red Hat has done some shitty things over the years, and I personally don’t trust them after the IBM merger and CentOS debacle, but they are one of the most important allies of the Linux ecosystem. They’re not just resellers that package up free software into a branded distro product, they employ full-time engineers to develop/maintain/contribute to that software and the kernel.
