In theory (litigated, or not), yes. But, should IBM cut off access to the SRPMS, whose got the money to take them to court over it? Very few other commercial entities out there depend on Red Hat’s SRPMS, so there’d likely be little incentive to lay down the consider costs to go after them. Without those SRPMS, maintaining a free Rocky or Alma (or even having a CentOS in the first place) would be next to impossible, at least in the sense of mirroring RHEL. Funny how this aspect is often glazed over. Red Hat could also share source in a way that makes it much more painful to even bother with it.

All of the RHEL code is GPL, Rocky (and Alma) will always have access to it. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
