I vaguely remember hearing something about redhat in the past doing something else the Linux community didn't like. I think it was back around 2008ish. Can anyone jog my memory? I was a bit too young to care at the time.

They tried to enforce a seat restriction even though the GPL clearly states that software distributed under it cannot have further restrictions applied

You could see the writing on the wall after they basically redirected CentOS to something other then a RHEL clone. Now they are making it harder for the clones that became popular since.
