SUSE has announced
that it is getting into the business of creating RHEL clones and investing
$10 million in the project.

SUSE remains fully committed to investing in its highly regarded
Linux solutions such as SLE and openSUSE that countless satisfied
enterprise customers and the community rely on. At the same time,
it acknowledges that enterprises and the open source community
deserve choice and freedom from vendor lock-in. SUSE has a long
history in empowering and supporting users with mixed Linux
environments.

SUSE is committed to working with the open source community to
develop a long-term, enduring compatible alternative for RHEL and
CentOS users. SUSE plans to contribute this project to an open
source foundation, which will provide ongoing free access to
alternative source code.
