Hoping they will stick to this:
"IBM to maintain Red Hat’s open source innovation legacy, scaling its vast technology portfolio and empowering its widespread developer community Red Hat to operate as a distinct unit within IBM’s Hybrid Cloud team"
I guess this was an important part of the deal, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense.
“Y buys X for it to operate distinctly within Y.” usually doesn’t mean much. It doesn’t imply independence.
