Red Hat announced yesterday that the sources for RHEL will no longer be accessible from git.centos.org. This effectively locks their source changes behind a subscription to RHEL, that costs money.

Opensource licenses typically doesn’t require the software to be free, just that the source and modification be made available to users.
Making user pay to access both binaries and source is fair, as long as RedHat keep contributing code to upstream projects.

The more questionable issue though is their suggestion that they will cancel support agreements and dev accounts that redistribute their code. That seems like it’s skirting very close to violation of the letter of the GPL. It shits all over the spirit of it.
