Red Hat has decided to stop making the source code of RHEL available to the public.

Important News: for All RedHat Derivative Users

Red Hat has decided to stop making the source code of RHEL available to the public. From now on it will only be available to customers — who can’t legally share it.

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.

No-Cost, Self-Supported RHEL up to 16 systems under Individual Developer Subscription for RHEL

From RHEL, “No-cost RHEL for small production workloads and customer development teams”

We’re addressing this by expanding the terms of the Red Hat Developer program so that the Individual Developer subscription for RHEL can be
used in production for up to 16 systems. That’s exactly what it sounds like: for small production use cases, this is no-cost, self-supported RHEL.
You need only to sign in with a free Red Hat account (or via single sign-on through GitHub, Twitter, Facebook, and other accounts) to download
RHEL and receive updates. Nothing else is required. This isn’t a sales program and no sales representative will follow up. An option will exist within
the subscription to easily upgrade to full support, but that’s up to you.

……

The updated Individual Developer subscription for RHEL will be available no later than February 1, 2021.

CentOS Project is shifting to CentOS Stream

The CentOS project recently announced a shift in strategy for CentOS.

  • It will be shifting to an upstream build (testing patches and updates before inclusion in the upstream vendor).
  • Additionally, support for CentOS Linux 8 has been cut short, from May 31, 2029 to December 31, 2021.
  • CentOS 7 will continue to be supported as a downstream version of RHEL 7 till Jun 2024.

 

 

Where do we go from here? We can look at Rocky Linux. Rocky Linux aims to function as a downstream build as CentOS had done previously, building releases after they have been added by the upstream vendor, not before. Rocky Linux is led by Gregory Kurtzer, founder of the CentOS project.
