One could pull the same trick that CentOS pulled: check-out all the sources, replace all the logos and trademarks and rebuild.

I honestly hope this is what's going to happen.

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.
That man is a treasure.

That didn't age well. Maybe we'll see a Scientific Linux comeback.

I'm not sure that CERN would like to work on it full steam but, it'd be great though.
Theoretically, CentOS was the RHEL source release.

Now that this changed, I wonder, do RHEL sources are still available 100% identical to their binary? Or the announcement yesterday just broke GPL2 compliance?
