The following announcement appears on the wholly owned IBM subsidiary web site:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 beta Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 provides a consistent foundation for enterprise hybrid cloud, delivering any application on any footprint at any time. The public beta is now open. End quote. How soon may we expect a SL8 beta? How long after RHEL8 is licensed for fee in production will a licensed for free SL8 appear? Aside: there was a stated concern on this list that IBM may elect not to distribute without any licensing fee the full buildable source(s) of EL, including patches/updates af some time in the future. Is such a move allowed under the Linux, GPL, etc., licenses? Thanks, Yasha Karant
