While I disagree with Red Hat's decision to hinder source access, this move from Rocky (a commercial company!) seems even more disingenuous, imho.

I agree, I think it would have been better if Rhel just came clean with the real facts instead of pussy footing around it. I am on board with keeping open source open, but if Rocky is undercutting rhel for support with basically a red hat product, it changes the dynamic a lot.

Also, if Rocky is doing this, then it will be rocky's fault that this clone system falls apart. Alma I believe is not for profit 1:1 and far more ethical.

Let's not forget Oracle! While Rocky bit the bullet with this poorly written announcement, I believe Red Hat's target was in fact Oracle, not some 20 employees startup with no customers.
