From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
It looks like the Red Hat change restricting access to RHEL sources that was announced last year is having the unintended consequence of causing some headaches for CentOS special interest group (SIG) projects.
This is the special interest group maintaining extra kernel modules for CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
We are working with Red Hat to resolve this situation and hope to be able to provide packages for Enterprise Linux again as soon as possible."
Due to restricting access to the RHEL kernel sources among other Red Hat Enterprise Linux source packages, it's causing issues for the CentOS SIG trying to improve the kernel modules experience for RHEL (and CentOS Stream) users...
For the foreseeable future, the Hyperscale SIG will be tracking Fedora kernels to build and release into CentOS.
The kernel is still built with a RHEL-like configuration, modulo changes for CentOS Hyperscale specifically."
