BTW, Les said nobody developed extra things for RHEL, which is not
true. Just look a Dag and Dries rpms repository. Those are "newer
desktop apps into the stable kernel/libs from RHEL" as was quoted.
If it wasn't clear, what I meant was that no one takes the complete
existing RHEL work and adds things to improve it, redistributing the
entire bundle. That may not match anyone else's definition of 'open',
but it is what affects the products you'll be able to use in the future.
Sure they do. CentOS does, in fact.
No, they are required to remove things. And they claim it is a
non-trivial amount of work to comply.
Look at CentOS Extras, CentOS
Plus, CentOS Cluster Suite/Global File System. Look at Scientific Linux
customizations https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/customize.
And White Box, now gone because it was not practical to maintain...
