I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

      Thanks, by reading “RHEL going closed source” first thing I thought is that would violate the GPL license, but the article you linked seems to indicate that’s not the case.

      CentOS is basically RHEL without Red Hat commercial stuff, so sources will still be freely available, just not directly from Red Had, am I understanding it correctly?

        No, CentOS is no longer a RHEL clone, but a beta version of stuff that goes into RHEL.

      I can’t be the only one who has no real interest in dealing with their developer program just to support their outdated distro.
