Red Hat strikes a crushing blow against RHEL downstreams | The Register (www.theregister.com)

A superficially modest blog post from a senior Hatter announces that going forward, the company will only publish the source code of its CentOS Stream product to the world. In other words, only paying customers will be able to obtain the source code to Red Hat Enterprise Linux… And under the terms of their contracts with the Hat, that means that they can't publish it.

Idk, I don't think they're trying to kill downstreams. IMHO, they're just cleaning things up. Why should the RHEL source be in the CentOS repos?
