What are the chances that IBM decides to make life super difficult for CentOS?

CentOS throat-choking and IBM jacking the price of commercial versions of RHEL/Satelite/Ansible/OpenShift so high that they chase away all current enterprise clients is sort of how I'm betting that IBM is going to mess this all up

exactly my thoughts (even though i have not worked there, talking to its employees was enough).
it's attitude towards open source is not exactly promising.
the recent github deal comes to mind but at least MS is declaring to be more open towards open source.
and at least there is an alternative in that case - gitlab.
what would be an alternative to RH? certainly not a single one.

I wonder where that places us in the not too distant future..

I've worked for Big Blue, and I'm not sure the company cultures are
compatible to say the least.
