Something I'm having trouble with is Red Hat's position that
you can choose to be a customer or to exercise your rights
under the GPL, but you cannot be both.
The thing is, many people are learning this only now, because
things
indeed have become tougher for people who prepare the RHEL
rebuilds,
but
this is not new. _Nothing_ in the service agreement or in any
other
legal document has changed since last week, the exact same terms
have
been applicable to the extended-support branches since the
beginning
of
RHEL. In fact, as Frank pointed out elsewhere, this is something
that
other companies have been doing for decades as well.
In my opinion, people haven't complained about service agreements
because, till recent changes, RHEL sources were available publicly.
The
only important contract was the open-source license of the software.
Now we have both the license of the software and the service
agreement.
First I think this a storm in a teacup .
Second Centos Stream is the RHEL without branding, people in general
didn't like the idea of Centos be updated before RHEL , when Centos was
updated after RHEL , but that was the main change.
After whats happened was that not all was updated first in Centos
Stream like kernel (we saw updates with ABI breakage first on RHEL ...
). This announce is mainly , as I read, saying that exceptions will be
over and all will be first on Centos Stream and than in RHEL
Someone says or writes it, other reads it, but the reality is that in
CentOS Stream are always continuously missing parts of RHEL. I do not
complain about it, but its annoying when the narratives that everything
is there are spreaded.
