IBM Kills OzLabs, Signalling An Attack on Free Software (a Sign for Red Hat)
ibiblio also appears to have died (or experiences critical issues)
IBM is a vicious, reckless company. Consider what has happened to OzLabs this month:
OzLabs is a collection of Australian free-software developers that was, for most of its history, associated with IBM. Members of OzLabs have included Hugh Blemings, Michael Ellerman, Ben Herrenschmidt, Greg Lehey, Paul Mackerras, Martin Pool, Stephen Rothwell, Rusty Russell, and Andrew Tridgell, among others. The OzLabs "about" page notes that, as of January 2026, the last remaining OzLabs members have departed IBM. "This brought to a close the Ozlabs association with IBM". Thus ends a quarter-century of development history. (Thanks to Jon Masters).
Some months ago Groklaw died and got hijacked by scammers. Even the site's mirror (static pages) in http://groklawstatic.ibiblio.org is not accessible right now and ibiblio.org times out:
So even if Groklaw retained its domain, its hosting is dead now.
It is hardly a secret that ibiblio was sponsored by IBM. █
