CTOnews.com June 24 news, yesterday Red Hat issued an announcement that it will restrict third-party access to RHEL source code, and CentOS Stream will become the only warehouse for public RHEL-related source code release in the future. Red Hat customers and partners can still get the source code through Red Hat Customer Portal according to their subscription agreements.

▲ Picture Source Red Hat Red Hat said on the blog:

As the CentOS Stream community grows and responds to new developments in the enterprise software world, we want to focus on CentOS Stream as a pillar of enterprise Linux innovation. We will continue to invest and increase our commitment to CentOS Stream. CentOS Stream will be the only repository for public RHEL-related source code distribution. For Red Hat customers and partners, RHEL source code is still available through Red Hat Customer Portal based on their subscription agreements.

To be clear, no changes have been made to the availability of the CentOS project, CentOS Stream, or CentOS SIGs source code.

Since CentOS Stream has become the only repository for public RHEL-related source code distribution, and Red Hat has indicated that it will only focus on paying customers in the future, the development of RHEL-based distributions (AlmaLinux,Rocky Linux,Oracle Linux, etc.) has been completely hindered.

▲ source AlmaLinux tweet CTOnews.com noted that after Red Hat announced the relevant information, AlmaLinux said that in the future, it can only seek expedient measures to extract CentOS Stream and Oracle Linux updates to ensure that AlmaLinux can obtain continuous security patches, and they also issued a statement about the Red Hat incident. CTOnews.com excerpts are as follows:

Yesterday, Red Hat announced a huge shift that affected all the reconstructions and branches of RHEL. In the future, Red Hat will only release the source code of RHEL RPM in its Red Hat Customer Portal. Since all RHEL clones rely on released source code, this destroys the entire Red Hat ecology.

This change means that as the builders of the RHEL branch, we are now responsible for complying with the licenses and agreements around the Red Hat interface in addition to the licenses and agreements contained in the software source. Unfortunately, Red Hat's user interface protocol indicates that republishing resources obtained through Red Hat Customer Portal will violate these protocols. This means that we need a new solution.
