>Red Hat could minimally perform this duty by providing the source only to those who download the binary releases. As there are several avenues for free downloads (developer, 16 free licenses for small business, etc.), the source will be available by that route. If you read the original announcement, this is exactly the case "For Red Hat customers and partners, source code will remain available via the Red Hat Customer Portal." In theory nothing prevents Rocky and Alma from buying a license, downloading the sources, and rebuilding the packages from there. The terms of service restrict only redistribution of binaries, not sources, and the GPL dictates that those would remain available.
