Ok I get that part, but surely Red Hat/RHEL itself wouldn’t perish as a result?


If a company goes into chapter 7, the entire company is disbanded and its assets are sold off. In that scenario, Red Hat, as a division of IBM, would cease to exist.


Perhaps. My point is that Red Hat will still thrive under whatever parent company they wind up in. Red Hat would still be a thing. A very huge thing, and still a very huge moneymaker. Red Hat doesn’t disappear.
