Red Hat Enterprise Linux has decided to no longer make its source code publicly available. That’s right…RHEL will become closed source. What does this mean? Should you care?

This is dishonest framing. From what I understand, Red Hat’s patches haven’t become proprietary, they’rejust not publically available to non-subscribers. Of course, subscribers could share the code with others — as it is libre. That is not what “closed source” means, not at all!
I agree the title is misleading but the statement put out by Alma/Rocky says that according to the current TOS it would not be possible for them to redistribute binaries obtained from the customer portal.
