From what I understand[1], up to RHEL6, Red Hat released their sources on public ftp, but after that they became customer/subscriber-only. I would have thought that the GPL ensures that the customer can then freely redistribute them, but I've read that companies can still make that option very unattractive through other means (e.g. terminating the customer contract, mingling sources with proprietary stuff and making them hard to disentangle). I don't know if RH is playing such games, but the complete lack of non-gated RHEL7 and 8 source code on the web gives some strong hints. edit: relevant thread: https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky/issues/4 [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/603865/

The original CentOS founder already announced his intention to do exactly that. I believe it's going to land here: https://github.com/hpcng/rocky. The thread about the CentOS Stream announcement yesterday had references to other efforts too.
