      They’re still sharing the source code.

      What they’re doing is requiring companies to sign supplementary contracts that say “we’re not restricting your rights granted by the GPL but we will punish you if you exercise them”, which is pretty clearly not what open source is about.

      Based on what I’ve seen, they’re limiting publicly accessible sources to CentOS Stream sources. Red Hat customers can still access RHEL sources throught the customer portal.

      Not quite–all developer accounts for RHEL will have access to source. They’re just trying to restrict redistribution of said source by downstreams.
