It's funny. Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke are two of my favorite scifi writers. The more I learn about Mr. Clarke, the more I respect him. The more I learn about Mr. Asimov, the more I find him an egotistical bore.
@ed Seems like a good idea 🙂

Yes, that is true. The GPL allows that. And that is why, if Red Hat catches you doing that, they will cancel your account. At which point you are no longer a RHEL customer, no longer get RHEL, and therefore no longer are legally entitled to the source.

My thoughts on the Red Hat Clone Wars

There's been quite a bit of conversation and FUD about what has been termed the Red Hat Clone Wars. For those who are unaware, this is all about a change being made by Red Hat regarding access to the RHEL source code with the specific intent to "handle" the situation with various RHEL clones.

If you are pivoting to #GenerativeAI and don't have an #opensource strategy, then you're screwed.
Do we *really* need to force fit generative AI into *everything*?

I suggest reading (or rereading!) E. M. Forester's amazing and prescient 1909 short story _The Machine Stops_.

I'm surprised and disheartened by what goes for "being an expert" in something nowadays. How can you be an expert in something if you've never done it? It's like someone saying "Yeah, I'm an expert in neurosurgery. Now I've never _done_ neurosurgery, but I've read a lot about it, and have worked with lots of neurosurgeons, so that makes me an expert and someone you should get your advice from"

When did real world experience become no longer a factor?
