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.
Am I missing something? Nothing there says anything about becoming closed source?
Quoted from my other post: Well in order to access the CentOS stream repo you need to have a subscription. So really not closed source but rather "harder-to-view-the-source".
That's not closed sourced, it's just not free (or libre). I mean it still seems like a bad move to me, a retrograde step, but it won't hurt the business side of things I expect
Well, thats youtube sensationalism for you. Rocky Linux has already said it shouldn't affect them and if they're good I doubt there will be much issue.
Carl GeorgeWell in order to access the CentOS stream repo you need to have a subscription.
That's false. The sources are right here, open to the world and open for contribution. What was shut down was the automation to export RHEL source RPMs to the legacy location. The source RPM exports were pretty much useless for contributors and maintainers of RHEL and CentOS. However, they were critical for RHEL rebuilds, which is why people are upset.
