"Consistent with Red Hat’s open source heritage, Red Hat plans to open source StackRox’s technology post acquisition."

Is this normal for red hat acquisitions?

Yes. It takes time, but yes

Yes, unlike Mozilla they have always followed through on this promise.

what is this in reference to?

Why is the purchase price not revealed? Is this usually a sign of a soft failure for a VC-funded company?

Stackrox raised a round a few months ago so I'd expect the outcome to be positive here

Yes. And Red Hat is not known for splurging on pre-profitability M&A. This was relatively cheap. I’m going to take a wild guess and say $100M?
