but the point is, IBM is not an open source company.
Eclipse, Linux (top 5 companies in term of kernel contributions), MQTT (network protocol), OpenPower (hardware), etc.
It is not perfect but it is a lot of projects and contributions to FOSS.
Red Hat has been a company I've admired since I got into Linux back in 2000. I genuinely worry that IBM will smother Red Hat and kill one of the largest producers of awesome FOSS with its bureaucratic proprietary-ness.
When a company is buying another company, it is always a new story. We can't know in advance what would be the organization for both entities.
Red Hat could have a lot of autonomy, or not. IBM could be able to get only some products for them and let the rest for Red Hat as usual.
It is difficult to predict this kind of things. The best thing to do is to wait more news from Red Hat about it. And see more concrete actions from them.
