Controversy

Red Hat originally freely provided its source code, but restricted free re-distributions of the officially supported versions of RHEL. Derivative distributions such as Rocky Linux or Oracle Linux were able to be redistributed by removing Red Hat's trademarks. In 2023, Red Hat stopped publicly providing the source code for RHEL.[3] However, it is still available to customers and developers under a Non Disclosure Agreement.
