One of the most discussed topics in the industry these days is Red Hat’s announcement to limit the source code of RHEL to their customers who are legally bound not to share it. This is a significant development that will impact the entire industry, signaling a shift in the market landscape.
From the beginning, Sardina Systems has aimed to deliver effective technical solutions at reasonable prices without hidden costs. This core value remains unchanged, and we assure our customers and partners that FishOS’s license conditions will not be affected by this situation.
“Over the years, we have witnessed various market changes, which have reaffirmed our belief in the importance of our own technologies, expertise, and relationships with customers and partners. We will continue to prioritize these aspects regardless of the circumstances.” – Kenneth Tan, Executive Director, Sardina Systems.
Red Hat’s decision will undoubtedly have an impact on the comprehensive and closely related market of OpenStack software. Sardina Systems’ flagship product, FishOS, is based on AlmaLinux, which is affiliated with CentOS Stream.
In AlmaLinux’s statement their representative emphasized commitment to delivering security updates with the same speed and stability as before, in collaboration with other members of the RHEL ecosystem. They expressed eagerness to collaborate with their partners and the community to determine the optimal path for AlmaLinux within the enterprise Linux ecosystem.
The CentOS Stream announcement may bring about changes in the ecosystem that relies on CentOS. Companies and developers who previously relied on the source code will need to adapt and adjust their processes and infrastructure accordingly.
This announcement might lead to a shift within the CentOS ecosystem, with some members supporting the new strategy while others opt to stick with the classic CentOS or explore alternative distributions.
It is important to note that the impact of these changes is speculative and will depend on the implementation and the community’s response, as well as the further development of CentOS Stream in the industry.
