::: What is Red Hat on about? :redhat:

Red Hat: CentOS Stream will be the SOLE repository for public source code releases.

Does this not alienate some Linux community users & developers?

What could be the reaction to this? Rocky Linux might ponder some sort of paid service?

As Red Hat limits the RHEL sources to CentOS Stream only - it makes it harder for related community enterprise Linux distributions.

Red Hat is nowadays owned by IBM.

@Linux
What license are they thinking about releasing under a 'public source license' GPL does not allow them to take away rights from the original GPL license. I am sure @fsf and Mr Stallman #RMS will have plenty to say about this.

They cant take others' work, tweak it and deny others the right to make modifications, and release it.

Did they learn nothing from the #SCO debacle?

@gregsie @Linux @fsf AFAIU they're not changing any licenses, they only change is now they won't give you RHEL source unless you buy RHEL, which should be fine according to GPL?

@wolf480pl you have access to RedHat's code with just a free developer account. What public have lost is access to binaries, which is not related to open source.
