Seems like IBM is going to make RHEL closed source. What’s everyone’s opinion about the move? I feel RHEL is now the evil villain distro of the community.

RHEL is not the “villain distro”, that’s ChromeOS (and possibly CBL-Mariner).
Jokes aside, if they want their source code to only be available to people who pay for it, that’s their decision. I don’t know if there is any benefit to creating a Linux distro based on RHEL VS. another Linux distro that’s still open source but if there is, then I’m pretty sure that the developer is more than willing to pay if they think it’s worth it.
