I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

    To comply with GPL, RedHat simply has to provide source code to anyone they provide binaries to.

      Yea, so why is everyone misrepresenting these news so damn hard? I’d think people who report on Linux would understand the core basics of GPL.

        RedHat could just not do business with the RHEL rebuilds and there’d be no obligation to share the source with them.
