#redhat has love letters with lipstick to #RaytheonAnd #systemd for the rest of us. So when our systems (I mean… our systemd) break down in a mysterious fashion we'll pay #ibm the #patent bully for support contracts (per CPU, just like #microsoft )…

When I joined current employer about a decade ago colleague told me #ibm had become like a "bank" selling loans for over-expensive mainframes, giving companies overpriced things they did not even need.Power of branding and bribes (kickback form)?
