Just more proof that the entire Linux ecosystem is is populated primarily by people with their heads up their asses.
I like SUSE, I am even posting this from Open Suse Leap based Gecko STATIC but I have to say that there is nothing about this announcement, or even the whole communities response to Red Hat's move that makes much sense.
As has been pointed out already, what Oracle, Rocky, Alma and now SUSE is tacitly admitting is that Red Hat's product is way better than anything they can gobble together and so they have to copy Red Hat's product bit-for-bit in order to compete.
SUSE's announcement is even more perplexing because they claim they will invest more than 10 million dollars into creating and maintaining a fork, though notably they didn't say over what period of time they were planning on spending that much money, maybe it's over 10,000 years.
If I were a Red Hat salesperson, I would be using all these announcements in my sales pitch, to wit, look at how good our product is that would-be competitors are willing to steal our work rather than sell you their own produced product.
