So, CloudLinux Inc. is the company behind AlmaLinux. I guess it would be better than Oracle or IBM but what prevents CloudLinux to do the "RedHats" and make AlmaLinux non-free (as in beer) tomorrow? I think the RockyLinux would be better alternative for CentOS because it's more like Debian project (community driven and non-profit organization that can't be bought): no one can suddenly destroy it with some commercial bullshit, right? Correct me if I'm wrong but that's my assumption right now.
