Every package in CentOS stream will be signed with CentOS keys, and
CentOS is now trademark of Red Hat. Are you sure it would be legal to
publish/distribute CentOS-signed packages under any other name?

CentOS and other clones were legaly "safe" because they distributed
their own binaries, but could bot use any RHEL's binaries...
