RHEL no longer open source

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.

Does this affect Fedora?

It doesn't seem like it, RHEL is based on Fedora. Fedora is beta RHEL more or less. But Alma, Rocky and Scientific Linux will all be in trouble as they're based on RHEL. Or at least that's what I make of it

I had it backwards, I thought Fedora was based on RHEL.
