hence the cost of linux centos (before being killed)
“value delivered”: same as RHEL
“perceived utility”: a path to RHEL subscription
Since the second is not true anymore for IBM, centos was converted to be less of a threat to RHEL by decreasing its delivered value, and offering a 'new' utility: kind of work like RHEL but please pay to get the full RHEL experience.
I prefer “perceived utility” rather than “value delivered”.
