Can RH put a stop to projects like Rocky Linux?

No.


Theoretically, no. I'm confident solid company will always comply with GNU license.

But in practice one can change the way source rpms are accessible, which will effectively break scripts of downstream vendor, thus making a lot of unnecessary work on downstream side. And other things.

That said, no one probably will intentionally do so. But in the past we observed things change in upstream, causing a lot of work/changes in downstream. Observed externally that is.

Just my $.02.

December announcement.

I mean.... really the only thing we can do is live up to the given plan with
Stream and RHEL options, which as far as I can see is exactly what's
happening.

Personally, I found this "no-cost" promise lacking substantial details.

This is just the announcement of it, of course. The full details will be
there when the whole thing is launched, which the announcement says will be
very soon.


If RH doesn't verify everyone requesting developer subscription (forcing
to prove identity), the 16 installations limit is easily circumvented by
multiple registrations.

There are always going to be cheaters. Don't be one of them.
