This is what IBM demands from open-source developers. Meanwhile, they cried about the RHEL source code and called those distro users freeloaders or parasites. Anyway, FLOSS devs don’t own anyone anything. If you need support, pay for the contract. The sad thing is IBM/RHEL said they need to pay for their devs, and when you take it free, it is hard to maintain enterprise distro, but when it comes to other FLOSS devs/projects, they don't think the same logic applies.

I think this is a great example how the corp mindset is misaligned.

I‘m pretty sure it was not the intend hurting anyone. I think it’s a classic clash of cultures where expectations are not clearly understood. I think it should be taken as an example to figure out how corps and open-source people can work better together.
