A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.
