Red Hat as a publicly traded company is interested in making money, and to do that, they do a lot of terrible shit that they think will get them more.
However, they do also employ thousands of people who contribute to free software projects without attempting to subvert them. A lot of these projects don't even have any direct impact on Red Hat's (or IBM's) bottom line, there are thousands of people working at RH who just contribute to... whatever, really.
Fun fact: I'm not sure if this is still true today, but I know for a fact that about 5 years ago, Red Hat's biggest single office focused on software development was in the Czech Republic. (Raleigh NC always had more people, since it's the company headquarters, but a huge chunk of the employees there were beancounters and upper management.)
The Czech employees almost universally despise troons and laugh at muh soggy knees - they just shut up and submit PRs, and laugh at the Americans who keep spamming internal mailing lists with diversity bullshit in private, among each other.
Did anyone believe that Red Hat was seriously interested in 'Free Software' to begin with? All these giant corporations are nothing but pure cancer.
Red Hat is owned by IBM, right?
