From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it that difficult to get the RHEL source code now? I'm sure some people developing Alma have access to RHEL. I mean, sure, they cancel your subscription if you redistribute it, but how do they know if you do? Even if they put things in the source code to identify who got it, I'm sure they can find a way to get past that.
