    GPL only says you have to give the users the source code when they ask for it and you can make them pay for the distribution and they are already doing that so I’m not sure what you mean here.

      I’m not a lawyer, and I certainly don’t know the license to that degree, but if true then it seems reasonable for them to stop freely distributing source code and I’m not sure what people are upset about… Sucks to lose something you used to get for free, but hardly an injustice.

      Sounds like there’s nothing stopping these derivative distro’s from purchasing the source and continuing on.

        Red Hat is saying if you buy a license and then redistribute the code, they will stop selling it to you.

        This part is against the GPL, which specifically allows redistribution.
