Due to Red Hat's decision to remove public access, SUSE CTO Dr. Thomas Di Giacomo shares their position.

RH is still one the biggest contributor to open source. Most sites I found place them in third place in terms of currently active contributors, only beaten by Google and Microsoft (companies with respectively 7x and 10x their number of employees). Not to shit on Suse (who are on 12th place on the list I found, quite impressive for a company with only about 2000 employees), but pretending RH doesn't get Open Source is just untrue.

Red Hat is the #2 or #3 contributor to OpenSource projects. They contribute to everything. They are only beat out by Google consistently. (https://opensourceindex.io/)

So for non-Ubuntu Pro subscribers, support has ended as of today?
1 project | /r/Ubuntu | 7 Feb 2023

I'm not sure about support for multiverse. The Ubuntu Pro page just says Universe. According to the Repositories definition Multiverse "contains software that is not free" so I don't think they could update it even if they wanted to.
