Claims IBM Is Phasing Out Red Hat Spark Debate
Original: Red Hat Being Phased Out of Existence (Like Many Other Companies IBM Bought) https://techrights.org/n/2026/10/01/Red_Hat
A Techrights article dated October 1, 2026 argues that Red Hat is being gradually phased out of existence, drawing a parallel to other companies acquired by IBM that later faded away. The claim is circulating among open source commentators, who have long voiced concern that IBM's 2019 acquisition would erode Red Hat's independence and its commitment to community-driven Linux development.
Why now: Fresh criticism of IBM's stewardship of Red Hat is reigniting long-running worries in the open source community about the company's future.
