Companies often start out friendly and open.  As they get bigger, they often change, closing off, speaking in legalese and attempting to protect all those precious profits.

I don't fully understand this* change, but I'm going to assume this is Red Hat betting on openness and community and not anything else.

* There is a press conference at 5PM Eastern, so look for news from your favorite sources in the next few hours or day regarding what this really means.

"CentOS has joined forces with Red Hat, working to provide a common platform for open source community project needs."

"Groups such as OpenStack, Xen4, Gluster, and oVirt can now customize CentOS Linux directly inside the project, building CentOS variants for new workloads on top of the slow-and-steady core platform."
