Open Source community after Red Hat decides to go closed source 😂 #linux #redhat #rhel #opensource By limiting the RHEL public sources to CentOS Stream, it will now be more difficult for community/off-shoot enterprise Linux distributions like Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, etc, to provide 1:1 binary compatible builds against given RHEL releases.

@trecccst @nixCraft No. I think they are trying to make a joke, but it’s wildly inaccurate. Red Hat did make a change, but it’s still completely open source. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hats-commitment-open-source-response-gitcentosorg-changes

More about Red Hat's decision to make CentOS Stream the primary repository for RHEL sources.

@trecccst @dustymabe @nixCraft you shouldn't apologise for assuming the opening to this was not meant as it was written... the "joke" could've been just as effective if it said "after all the redhat drama"

@trecccst @nixCraft no it is not.
Get a no-cost developer subscription and you can download all the sources.
Or get CentOS stream 9, you'll get the future and the past of RHEL inside.
