Wow. Red Hat cutting back RHEL source availability: CentOS Stream will now be the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases. For Red Hat customers and partners, source code will remain available via the Red Hat Customer Portal. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream What do you think? #linux #opensource
Furthering the evolution of CentOS Stream

As the CentOS Stream community grows and the enterprise software world tackles new dynamics, we want to sharpen our focus on CentOS Stream as the backbone of enterprise Linux innovation. We are continuing our investment in and increasing our commitment to CentOS Stream. CentOS Stream will now be the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases.

@nixCraft I don't get it. If it's still free software, what prevents any customer to publish the source code at each release?

@jenesuispasgoth @nixCraft It's a violation of the terms of their support contracts.

@kevin @nixCraft but aren't these terms also in contradiction with the GPL (let's say not BSD-like licenses for the sake of argument)?

IANAL obviously.

@jenesuispasgoth @nixCraft No. The GPL terms do not have any bearing on support contracts.

@kevin @nixCraft yes, I was too hasty in my answer. :)
