</a>I am considering creating another rebuild of RHEL and may
even be able to hire some people for this effort. If you are
interested in helping, please join the HPCng slack (link on
the website <a href="http://hpcng.org" moz-do-not-send="true">hpcng.org</a>).<br>

Has Redhat changed anything in RHEL8 to prevent another CentOS
from sprouting? <br>

<p>No, and due to most of the software included in RHEL being under
the GPL licenses, it's almost impossible for them to prevent it,
since the GPL requires RH to make the source code available. If
they really wanted to stick to anyone attempting another CentOS, I
suppose they could not release the source code in SRPM form, but I
doubt they'd do that. <br>

<p>I wouldn't be surprised if this causes Scientific Linux to come
back into existence. <br>
