Sort of how I was hinting at in my twitter replies, the confusion seems to be that Rocky Linux/RESF and CIQ are one entity when we’re not. And I have to imagine that’s the basis for the attacks against us and thus, other rebuilders as a net result. We (Rocky Linux/RESF) can’t really speak to what our sponsors are up to or doing.
I echo @tgmux’s statement in that if there really is shady/bad business dealings that we’ve been doing, I’d like to know so we can bring it up to the board and resolve it. Some receipts may be in order. From my point of view, I/We just work on Rocky Linux, contribute to other projects (e.g. openstack, epel), provide raspberry pi images, and other things. I’m not paid for my work, I’m all volunteer, and I’m OK with that.
To be honest, it’s a bit difficult for me to understand how these conclusions were drawn or how it all came to pass.
