They’ve violated the licenses

Did they? Because as far as I know they’re complying with the GPL and other licenses, since everybody that gets their RHEL license (and the software/binaries) also gets the sources. Or am I mistaken?

I don’t think the license says ‘grant everybody a copy of your source code’, only the ones that actually bought access to the binaries RHEL provides

That’s fine, it’s the threats about terminating support agreements or dev accounts if you redistribute the source code that’s stepping really close or over the line. The license gives you the right (and in some cases the responsibility) to redistribute.

Yeah, thats just it. I realize people are at the least annoyed, but this was always in the books. It wasn’t guaranteed they would go this way, but the page was there and they decided to finally flip to it. After the centos things, it was really a matter of time

You should have migrated from RH a long time. They aren’t with this breaking any licenses. Hurting souls and hearts, yes, but not licenses
