    I agree that they should be allowed a profit. However calling it open source when redistributing rhel code causes them to hold the right of canceling you access to the code and binary, eventhough gpl states that redistributing is a right under gpl rubs me the wrong way.

      But they’re not canceling access to the code. All that is still there under CentOS Stream.

        Not really, CentOS Stream tracks ahead of RHEL and isn’t bug for bug compatible, which is also something that Rocky and Alma wants and needs to be.
