This is true though as RH will terminate your contract if you redistribute their binaries. So they use a contractual backdoor to undermine GPL. And before people talk about how GPL covers source but not binaries, it covers binaries. In fact, all of CentOS, Rocky, Alma, etc. is a massive waste of everyone's time, energy, land, and electricity. Something akin to crypto mining. Everyone could have used RHEL, but we need this complicated indirection for no reason.
