I'd like to point out that SUSE has never made their source code as available as Red Hat, even after the changes that caused all the drama. The only way to get SLES source code is to sign up for a 90-day evaluation or request it by mail, whereas signing up for a free Red Hat account gives you full access indefinitely. Yet they accuse Red Hat of hurting the open source community by...operating the same way they've always done? It's frankly embarrassing how easy the tech communities been misled with these marketing campaigns. If IBM wasn't such an easy target, people might see this for what it is- a bad faith attempt to clone an open source project and siphon the sponsors customers with their own support contracts.

This isn't true, it's publicly available at https://sources.suse.com i.e https://sources.suse.com/SUSE:SLE-15-SP5:GA/

Interesting, it looks like based on internet archives that was quietly published shortly after the Centos announcements in 2021. Considering this was a reactionary step it doesn’t give me much faith that they’d react any differently from Red Hat if they were losing SLES customers to another corporations fork.
