    I have seen with Oracle Java and OpenOffice (as two examples) that the open source community is very good in just leaving and forking a project if the current owners fuck up.

    The same will happen with systemd if needed. Red Hat may be the primary source behind systemd now, but they don’t own it. All the code is fully open source, none of your ramblings have any hint of facts or any real foreseeable danger behind it. I asked for facts, for anything with some kind of real information behind it.

    There is nothing that powers the claim that RedHat or IBM could take over Linux with systemd. How would they do it? They can’t, because even if IBM would tomorrow change the license to a closed one and would want money. Who cares, everyone will just fork the version before the license change and good is.

    Just as it happened back then with Xorg, like it happened a short while ago with Redis, and there are so many examples more.
