Not long ago, Red Hat announced a change in the way RHEL source code is released. Previously, Red Hat pushed the public source code of RHEL to git.centos.org; now, CentOS Stream will become the only repository for the public release of RHEL-related source code.
This move by Red Hat has sparked heated discussions in the industry. Some believe that this restricts open-source users’ access to RHEL source code, as only Red Hat customers and partners can obtain RHEL source code through the Red Hat Customer Portal according to their subscription agreements.
Others believe that although Red Hat’s move does not violate open-source agreements, as a company renowned globally as an “open-source company,” its actions go against the spirit of open source, making it less open and representing a step backward.
Some also think that Red Hat’s move deals a devastating blow to downstream RHEL, as distributions derived from RHEL (such as AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, etc.) will find it harder to provide builds that are 100% compatible with RHEL versions.
There are also speculations that Red Hat’s previous cessation of CentOS updates and now the change in RHEL source code release methods might indicate more significant actions in the open-source direction in the future.
The impact of this event has already extended far beyond Red Hat itself.
What exactly is going on? What are the reasons behind the series of actions involving RHEL and CentOS? Whose interests are being affected by Red Hat’s actions? How should we view the relationship between open source and business?
To this end, OSCHINA has planned a live broadcast, specially inviting Zhang Jiajv, Chief Architect of Red Hat Greater China, along with veteran engineer Tan Zhongyi with over 20 years of open-source experience, and Wei Sir, the Chinese translator of “The Cathedral and the Bazaar,” to discuss Red Hat’s recent events from different perspectives and positions.
