It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

(short, questionable summary for nontech dans: red hat funds loads of developers to write code. They make products from it and sell them, and share the code with the world. Other companies take red hat's code and make products from it. These products compete with red hat's. IBM bought red hat, changed the culture, and tried to hide the code so that nobody else could use it. Everyone in the industry is now pissed. "Hiding the code? That's not sporting!" "Well, stop stealing our shit!" "It's not stealing if there's a textfile in it that says anyone can do what they like with it!" "Make your own, our devs need money!" "You've got loads of money!" etc. Also it's a tangled web; most companies write SOME code that some other company uses. But red hat had the best reputation for funding the most shared code.)

So it's similar to the amazon/elasticsearch drama, but in this situation red hat is seen as the big guy, while the freeloaders are the little guys. Plus the freeloaders do help a BIT. Also oracle are twats and their letter sounds like something written by mermaids.
