Red Hat is happy to take your code and distribute it, first with minimal changes, and perhaps with more changes over time.
But if you do it, you are a leech.
Love that the Brodie here goes into gatekeeping what is considered a contribution:

@Migueldeicaza in what way is it akin to Reddit? #Centos Stream is the upstream where #RHEL comes from. Most packages in RHEL are verbatim Centos content and a RHEL release can be traced to a tag or a commit in Centos.
Also #RedHat continues paying developers that contribute directly to upstream projects like #Gnome, #GTK, the #Linux #kernel... In what way is any of that akin to Reddit?
Did you read _more_ than the screenshot? You're taking it out of context and misrepresentating both what Mike said and what Red Hat does.
Yet, you are taking it out of the context of the rest of the post, and adding words like "leech" — which isn't even there as a reasonable paraphrase of the words you did choose to focus on.
